Cookie Cutter is the fourth official studio album by recording artist Jim Bianco.

Contents

Released October 1, 2013, this album was created as a pledge sponsored gift for fans participating in Bianco's 2010 Kickstarter campaign. Over the course of the 45-day campaign, Bianco was able to raise $31,500 to launch the release of his 2011 album LOUDMOUTH. Bianco's campaign success was featured in an article by Shanna Schwarze at CNN.com. [1] Fans that pledged $500 or more to Bianco's Kickstarter campaign were given a questionnaire, which Bianco used to personalize a song about that person. "Cookie Cutter" is the result of this campaign gift, with proceeds of the sale given to charity benefiting veterans. [2]

Bianco hosted a live concert performance at the Hudson Theater in Hollywood, CA in honor of the release on October 1, 2014. On October 2, 2013, Audie Cornish of NPR’s All Things Considered featured Bianco and his process of creating Cookie Cutter. [3]
