Be a patron of my art. For a $5 monthly subscription you support my ongoing creation; plus you get exclusive music to stream and download.

A patron wrote, “Your art is worth way MORE than money, but money is kinda the only way to applaud good art. Make more - I’m a fan.” I appreciate everyone who cares for what I create and wants to support my ability to keep at it. Recording music costs money, as you know. Your monthly support goes towards paying the band when we record, studio costs, new gear, repairing gear, and more. But mainly, your support allows me to dedicate more time to writing and recording.

As a Patron you get instant download/stream on exclusive releases (listed below), access to all new music I release, and material from the vaults (demos, live shows, rehearsals). This patron-exclusive selection includes progress on the new albums. Plus join a fan community where I post thoughts, and we discuss your impressions on songs in progress, lyrical ideas, musings on life, photos, stories and more.

Patronage is part of my lifeblood as an artist. This is separate from Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns which fund the manufacturing of the albums and associated bonus merchandise. By joining as a patron you are part of how I can negotiate this new era of the music industry.

I enjoy the connection I’ve made here and look forward to sharing my creative journey with you.

Sam

Scott I really like reading Sam's posts and commenting on them, too. Great to hear the songs as they progress from idea to final version. There are just a few BTFABG titles in my collection here because I got it all on vinyl and/or CD before I discovered Bandcamp.
