Welcome! This page was launched in November of 2019, and it is not an overstatement to say that the community that has evolved within it has changed my life. If you would like to be a part of it, come check it out! You can quit any time if you don't find what you need, but I hope you will!

Here's what's here:

Monday Music — Every Monday, I'll put a song in your inbox. Most of them are recorded on Monday or the night before, just for Patreon. Sometimes, they are covers, sometimes old songs of mine, and sometimes new ones.

New Songs — Every month, I promise you a new song. Me being me, that's usually right at the end of the month. :-) It has been such a gift to me to share new music as it's being born, with a safe and supportive group of folks.

Zoom hangs — Twice a month, once at noon and once at 8PM Eastern, to accommodate various time zones, I host an informal virtual hangout on Zoom. I begin and end with a song, and sometimes a poem, and in the middle, we just check in with each other a bit and see how folks are doing. It's a slightly different group of people each time, usually between half a dozen and two dozen, and we have really enjoyed each other's company, across a wide geographical distance, especially during the pandemic, but really, any time!

After-parties — When I do an online concert, I meet up with the Patreon crew afterward to debrief, play a last request or two, and close out the night. It's a sweet time.

Occasional Patreon-only online concerts — I recently offered one of these, and I'm looking forward to doing more!

Access to over three years of music and other content — When you join, you can see all of the things I've already posted, at your own convenience whenever you like.

More stuff coming — I'm hoping to start a podcast in the new year, and I am going to set up a way for my Patreon peeps to have access to folks I interview to ask their own questions and check in after the episodes air. I'm also excited to start an online Open Mic, in a specific format called a Hearsal (it's not a re-hearsal, it's happening the first time!). More soon on that. :-)

Of course, there's no obligation to do any of that stuff. Some people join Patreon because they want to support my work in the world, and don't join in on too much of the stuff above — that's great, too, and deeply appreciated.

And unlike most Patreon pages, everyone who is a part of this group — at whatever level — has access to everything, no matter how much or how little you choose to contribute, down to one dollar a month (roughly the price of downloading one song on iTunes). You can cancel, increase or decrease your pledge any time. The average pledge is a little over $9, but you're sincerely welcome at whatever level you can do.

Thanks for being interested in what I'm up to, and welcome aboard!

Peace,

David
