Kickstart OurHeart: In The Hands Of A Lesser God

posted in: Country • Features

If patience is a virtue, Lenny Cochrun is basically the Dalai Lama of country music. He’s been building towards his debut album since 1989, and he’s finally ready to hit the studio and turn his dream into reality. Although based in Austin, Cochrun learned the ins and outs of the music biz over the years on the road with his family. An avid guitar player for over three decades, and a singer for longer than that, this guy is ready solidify his passion in the form of a record titled In The Hands of a Lesser God. With a little help from a lot of people, the last piece of the puzzle will fall into place within a month ”$23,500 of help, to be exact, for his Kickstarter project.

Sure, that’s a lot of lettuce, but Cochrun isn’t planning on half-assing a project that he’s been working towards for over twenty yeras. For instance, he’s got the GRAMMY winning Fletch Wiley in his corner as producer, a professional recording space and top-notch players in Austin to work with. Everyone is getting paid, of course, except Lenny. Even Kickstarter gets a cut. In lieu of getting paid, though, he’ll have something much more valuable: an album to tour with, share with the world and make a living off of. We’re sure you’re curious what the album will actually sound like, so check out this live solo performance by Cochrun and you can extrapolate from there:

We’d love to give Lenny Cochrun a chance to realize his lifelong dream. We’re also really excited to hear what he’s been working on for so long, especially recorded in a professional setting with other local Austin talent. Do you feel same? Let’s make it happen! And if country isn’t your cup of tea, feel free to share this with some of your friends who might be interested.
