Hey there NumberOneMusic followers!! We are running a Kickstarter campaign to record our first full length studio album in over 25 years. We can use all the help we can from friends and fans to make this possible. Below is the link to check out our video, story and of course make a pledge. Many of you live very far away from Connecticut but can still contribute for some of the smaller rewards! Please email the band if you have any questions. Or to just say hi. As always your support for the band can continue by liking us on Facebook and following us on Twitter. Thanks for listening, we truly appreciate it!
Sincerely, Leaf Jumpers

Hi Everyone,
Once again we'd like to start by thanking all of you for supporting the band both here and elsewhere. We are ending the year with a couple of local shows. 2015 will be an exciting year, with lots of new music for you!
As a way of saying thank you to all of you, we have attached a holiday gift. The studio version of "Long Since Done" was released on Sunlight Blind in 1999. The version we have attached here is a smoking version recorded about 2 weeks ago here in Connecticut at Hoops n Hops! We hope you enjoy it, and as always we welcome your feedback, greetings, and general good wishes. Have a safe and happy Holiday wherever you are in the world, we will send more gifts your way right around the new year!!
Sincerely,
Chris, Scott, Spike and Marc

Wow!! We are so amazed at how many of you have been checking out the band and signing up for the email list! We feel truly blessed and want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! We would love your help in continuing to spread the word about the band, and we have a great reward for your help.
We are asking you to complete what we call "The Trifecta", which is our code for following the band on 3 social/music sites. Here's how it works:
You already follow the band here, now find two other Leaf Jumpers pages to follow from the choices below, and follow the band there. Once you do, email us back simply saying "Trifecta!" and tell us where you now follow us (you can say more too).
Your reward is we will send you a song right then and there. No codes, so chasing links, we will email you the file then!
As added incentive, if we get 100 people to complete the Trifecta, we will also post another song here and make it available for free download!!
Sound like a deal? Great, here's where you can find us

Sincerely,
Leaf Jumpers
Chris, Scott, Marc and Spike!
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for checking out Leaf Jumpers. We have just added another song from the 1997 album "Z'ilo Down" so check it out. While you're listening you can bask in the knowledge that you are the first to know we will be releasing an unplugged album in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for that! Tell your friends you've found a great new band, and thanks again for all of your support
