Hi! My name is Matt Steady, an independent musician from
Leicester in England. In-between looking after a small herd of children, my job
is making music! It’s an eclectic mixture of progressive folk blues – it can
get pretty rocky, and has heavy Celtic influences.
In days of old, musicians used to disappear into a cave
for 6 months before releasing a CD. I want to do something different. I’m going
to give you my music as I’m creating it - new songs, covers, videos and live
performances.
I want to involve YOU in this process by getting your
feedback on songs as I’m writing them. I will be sharing a regular video log from
my home studio – you’ll hear songs evolve from a few lyrics into full-blown
album-ready tracks. You’ll have your say on album artwork and t-shirt designs, cheer
me up when I’m down and bring me back to earth again if I’m getting too big for
my boots!
When I’ve enough material for an album, I’ll put that
together and you’ll have the first opportunity to get your hands on it, with your
name on the artwork! You’ll also be able to get on the credits at the end of my
videos thanking you for making them happen.
In return, Patreon will allow you to pay me a small fixed
monthly tip. You can sign up for as little as $1, or upgrade if you prefer some
of the crazier rewards like recording and dedicating cover songs for you. And
don’t worry if you don’t live in America – it’ll let you show your support in
your own currency.
So if you like the sound of getting my music on a regular
basis, along with all the other perks, click the big red button! See you
inside…

Hey you're a bit of a keenie - and I love you!
At this kind of level you're showing me immense support because you want to - the rewards are just the icing on the cake.
You'll get all of the above, plus I'll be doing live performances of songs, q&a sessions and I'll stream my gigs where it's possible. These may be made available to the public later on, but you'll be there live interacting and chatting as it's happening!
PLUS I'll put you on the credits of any videos I create
PLUS I'll send you a digital download of one my albums each month until you've got my entire discography! (currently 4 including a rough live album)
PLUS You'll get 20% off everything on my store

Are you crazy? You have my heart-felt gratitude, awe and general worry about your mental health ;)
All the above PLUS immediate download of my entire discography
You'll also get your name in the next album sleeve, a t-shirt and a signed pre-release copy of the next album.
Request Stems for music I'm working on, so you can make remixes etc. (for non-commercial use). If you don't know what that means, you don't need it ;)
Also, 30 minutes chat on Skype or FaceTime per month. Could be a little live music, or a music lesson, or production, mixing, interview or just a chin-wag. This can be creative mentoring - I'll give you the best possible advice I can on YOUR music and career.
This takes dedication (beard level: master)

OK now I'm going to do some serious work for you!
All of the above, PLUS I will record a acoustic video of a song of your choice - either mine or a cover (I do have veto rights!). I will dedicate the song to you in the video, and post it to YouTube to let everyone know how grateful I am to you!

Goals
$297 of $300 per month
When I reach $300 a month, this will also pay for our gas and electric bills, allowing me to power my home studio and stay warm in winter while I'm recording. Oh yes and keep the children warm and power all their electrical gadgetry.
In return I will start to use professional lighting on the home studio videos so they look a lot nicer!
