Lafayette resident Jaden Carlson is working on her next project and needs your help. Carlson, who performs simply as “Jaden” or with The Motet’s Scott Messersmith and Garrett Sayers as the “Jaden Carlson Trio” is a dynamic and talented ten-year-old that is looking to record her third album, in this case an EP with Garrett and Scott. She has teamed up with Kickstarter.com to help launch this project. Kickstarter.com is a cool program that helps artists raise funds for projects with a set goal and within a predetermined time. Jaden’s goal is to raise $2000 to
