Lemon Parade - Acoustic is the fifth studio album by Grammy-nominated rock band Tonic. The project was originally announced on March 22, 2016 as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of Lemon Parade's original release, with recording and production immediately after the announcement.^[1] This marked the first time Tonic had utilized funding directly from fans, a trend that had become a viable production method for other musicians in prior years. Direct funding allowed the band to offer a variety of products, incentives, and experiences for those choosing to fund the album. Lemon Parade - Acoustic also marked the first time any Tonic album was available to purchase commercially as a vinyl record. Production details, release details, and other information are planned to be released as the direct fan funding program continues. The album is anticipated to be released in 2016, and the band has also announced tour dates throughout the remainder of the year. ^[2]

Production

In March 2016, Tonic announced that in celebration of Lemon Parade's 20th anniversary, they would utilize direct funding from fans via the PledgeMusic website to record and release an all-acoustic version of that album.^[1] This funding platform method allows purchasers to pre-order the album in various formats, including marking the first time any Tonic album has been commercially available as a vinyl record.^[1] Other incentives and items offered by the band included handwritten lyric pages for the purchaser's choice of one track from the album, access to exclusive video and content updates showing the behind-the-scenes creative process, and even an offer to purchase a private concert by the band.^[1]

Many of you have been asking about Lemon Parade and if we were doing anything special to commemorate its 20th anniversary. The answer is, “why yes we are.” We’re currently re-recording a very special acoustic version of the album.
