Hello. I've decided to use Patreon because I'm trying to make a living off of my music, writing and video work! You probably already know it's a difficult juggling act trying to maintain financially in the arts. This is a monthly subscription platform designed to help ease the financial burdens and constraints. (traveling costs, rent, insurance, bills etc.} I'm reaching out to patrons of the arts. Hence the name of the crowdfunding platform, "Patreon". Whatever the amount, if you decide to pledge will be charged every month to your account. The lowest amount being $2 per month on up to $100 per month depending on the reward you choose. This is an ongoing fund raising campaign. So any of the rewards that you see to the right are what i can offer at this point. To generate a steady supplemental income to keep going and have a little bit of stability! Being a songwriter at my level can be pretty challenging financially. Patreon has helped to ease the loss of income due to free music on the internet and low payments by online music streaming. Since i begun this site in June of 2016 i've been able to keep a rental housing situation while on the road, purchase a new camera for videos and finance a newer touring vehicle. I'm hoping to keep raising monthly funds to help the creative process along. Allowing more time for making music,videos and writing.

I've posted a video for the recent "All Request Video Show part 1" to show you an example of what i do with video. I have also been posting travelogues about the shows and places i've played recently along with a monthly newsletter and a "song of the month".

This year, musically speaking, I have a re-issue of Spider West Myshkin and a City Bus coming out on Keeled Scales on double vinyl. Last fall there was a 10'' vinyl released Nov. 14th, 2016 on Laura Jane Grace's label "Total Treble".and in January of 2017, the full length entitled "Inside the Cat's Eye" 12" vinyl was released by "Koschke Records". I'm planning to stay on the road as a continually working musician. Currently have another batch of songs i've been honing during the live performances and plan on another new album in 2018.

I'm reaching out to any of you who like what i do and would like to support my future endeavors. Thanks for listening! .... and many thanks to those who have contributed already!

w/love!
