Together, we are building a sustainable small business that gives back to you the value of new original music! At this milestone I'll make the CelestialBlueMusic stage/streaming concert banner, professional business cards (right now I just use homemade), and some small merchandise like stickers and guitar picks, which all patrons will receive as a reward if they wish (and give me a snail mail address!) I'm super excited about this goal. 
First Album Quality Song Recording

Help me get to this goal! Share my page & music creations so we can build our Patreon group!

I'm intrigued by the ukulele and I think it would be a nice little addition to my variety show.

This is how I'm going to build the album out.  The more patrons we get here, the closer we get to the album and the better your rewards will get!  Win-Win!

At $500 I'll send the first four songs to a master sound engineer who I met at the potluckAudioConference in 2014.

About

Original, independent songs for love, life and planet Earth. I write songs on guitar and piano and sing for the trees, wilderness, wildlife, love and hope. I started writing songs over 25 years ago and finally got brave enough to take the leap and devote myself to bringing them to the rest of the world. I'm so grateful to you for listening, sharing and supporting.  Thank you - Kari

Yes! I'm on Patreon so I can make new music all day long!
It's easy to support me, just enter an amount;
logon with facebook to make an account!
(Easy! Or your own custom username/password)

You'll get exclusive videos,
first access to creations, lyrics and shows!
I'm making a new record and Patreon's the means
so join my club and get behind the scenes!

Your support is special and appreciated!
Independent music is something to be celebrated!
Patreon's amazing - this is true - 
for connecting creators like me with YOU!

(Thank you!)

Here's how it works:


Online music is free...

...but an artist must eat,
put a shirt on their back
and shoes on their feet!
Then there are instruments,
tools that we need,
other musicians & technicians to feed!

So please play along,
and help pay for this song,
so that there can be more
new music to score.
Just think what we'll do
with 1,000 of you!

When you pass the word
and share what you've heard,
this community grows
with new music and shows!
Thank you for caring;
thank you for sharing!


Of course, I can't create music all day long - I wear a lot of other hats. As I make more money doing music, I can build a team and delegate more tasks, but right now I'm 100% DIY
  • management, 
  • accounting, 
  • recording, 
  • mixing, 
  • website building and updating (I'm kinda proud of my second run at this...CelestialBlueMusic.com),
  • booking shows, 
  • rehearsing, 
  • songwriting, 
  • social media, 
  • video recording and editing, 
  • uploading, 
  • downloading, 
  • studying the music business, 
  • maintaining a database of all my songs with my Performing Rights Organization (PRO, ASCAP), 
  • filing for performance claims, 
  • Copyrighting new songs, 
  • etc!

My big pie in the sky is to make my first album.  I've literally wanted to do this for 20 years.  I finally dedicated myself to full time music on June 1, 2013, so Patreon is a crucial tool in the multitude of income streams I'm building (Performing Royalties ($5 this year!!), BandCamp, Concert Window (join me here! at Concert Window), Local Gigs, House Concerts, Side Jobs, maybe a dollar from YouTube someday?!? Streaming Cents, etc.)

Thank you for being here to support my independent music creation!  You are helping me bring these new songs to fruition! May they bring you & all their listeners joy!

And now, a word from Patreon CEO and indie musician, Jack Conte.  This video is the reason I joined Patreon.

Cool Cat  your support is soooo COOL!!
A pledge of $3 or more a month entitles you to exclusive views of the original lyrics sheets from songs + the audio file - that is I will dig through my archives and unveil/reveal the very first time a song was written down, dates, notes, scratch-outs, the note card that was pasted to the steering wheel when the song was born - that kind of amazingness, for your eyes only.
Thank you for your patronage!!
