In mid-April 2010 Americana songwriter Dylan Sneed met five friends in a 100-year-old farmhouse in the low country of South Carolina to record his latest album, Texodus. The five-day session was a flurry of activity, as the group worked day and night tracking 14 songs. And best of all, it was all paid for before they even pushed "record."

During the previous two months Dylan raised money to fund the recording project through the website Kickstarter.com. His fans came through, pledging 120% of the budget. All told, Dylan raised over $8,000 from donations on and off the website. He has planned a grassroots release campaign for the album that will begin in late summer 2010.

The Dallas Observer described Sneed's music as "the best side of true Americana: music of passion and skill that can move an audience with a whisper or a roar.” Kevin Oliver of the SC Free Times likens Sneed to "a sober Townes Van Zandt," and said "Sneed’s songs give a contemporary spin to the Lone Star country and folk of Guy Clark, Steve Earle and others, coming out more like the acerbically literate North Carolina songwriters Jonathan Byrd or Malcolm Holcombe."
