Support artist Allison Wheeler's debut album "winterspring"

Winterspring is my debut album featuring original music and arrangements, and it is set to release July 29, 2022 on UK label Ubuntu Music! The funds collected here go to help cover costs we've incurred during recording and production.

Author: Allison Wheeler

Will you ship the physical items to the US?

Yes! I've tried to even out costs to cover and include shipping, and I will get your items to you even if you are located outside of Czech and/or the EU.

(but an extra donation to help me cover international shipping costs is greatly appreciated!) (: 

Can I pay in USD?

Yes!
The prices are shown in Euros or CZK, but if you have any major American bank, the payment processing will work.

You can do a quick easy google search if you aren't sure how much something is in USD.
Usually, the Euro is pretty close (;

    Lyric "zine"

    I designed a special A5 booklet showcasing the album lyrics and photos taken by the lovely Karolina Ketmanová. 
    I put a lot of care into my lyrics and wanted to present them in a meaningful way.

    This is a great piece of merch if you are into streaming and don't want your own copy of the music.

    I also highly recommend pairing this with either the physical CD or the digi pack! --
    You'll want at least something to give you the full winterspring effect (;
