I’ve been playing and recording multiple instruments since I was 11 – and recording full songs since I was about 13.
Most of this activity occurred alone in a room. (Sure – I’ve done a boatload of public and studio stuff for other folks since, but the heart of my own art is in the studio.)
Fast forward a bunch of years, and the room is way better – but most of the activity still occurs alone. Not that I mind… it fills me. There is nothing in the world that touches me more deeply than music. Nothing.
But in the end, it’s sharing the music that means the most.
And it’s difficult to do any of this with regularity when you’re trying to make a living by other means.
There are currently a couple of ways you can join me in the process, and help my journey. The first, Patreon, is supporting me monthly. The second, Indiegogo, is a one-time contribution towards my next release.
Patreon
So I’ve joined a groundbreaking service called Patreon – which lets me share both the music and the process of making it with you, and gives you the chance to support me in making it.
Patreon allows you to become a patron of my art for as little as a dollar a month… and in return, you get my finished works, plus video updates, pictures, live hangouts and more. And I get to spend more time making music – and videos, for that matter.
In just the past two months, my Patreon members have received 15 tracks, 2 music videos and 8 video updates, as well as album artwork… with a bunch more on the way. Just in the past two weeks, I’ve finished what are probably two of my hottest and most fun 3-minute rock and roll singles ever. Patrons already have their hands on it.
Born Wired, my rock and roll album, is nearly finished! And Let It Go, my pop/singer-songwriter album, is nearly there as well.
I’ve got 33 songs close to completion… (and another 25 begging for my attention.)
Lest you think I jest…. here you go… 18 snippets in 5 minutes:
I need your help to make this happen!
To join our little troupe, and help me continue to create… or just to find out more…
Indiegogo
I just completed a rock and roll album called “Born Wired”. 
5 years in the making, I did the whole thing myself. And now I have to get it out into the world!
That costs money – so I’ve started a crowdfunding campaign to get the album manufactured, distributed and promoted.
I have to raise $5000.00 by July 11th… and some very fine folks have already started the ball rolling – we’ve already nearing 40%!!!
If you help me do this, you’ll get some great music and some really cool gifts, like t-shirts, stickers and more… plus a credit on the actual album and videos.
(And wait ’til you see the video at the top of the campaign – it was a blast to make!)
Thank you!
UPDATE:
Indiegogo has the campaign as trending, and has added it to their Arts & Film collection!
