You're a loyal and caring friend.  You've always wanted to show your love and appreciation, but weren't sure how to do it.  This helps support everything I do - podcasts, live shows, recorded music - and the time & resources it takes to do it all.  It makes a huge difference, and I can't thank you enough.

Every month, you get these MUSIC is not a GENRE podcasts*:

The Original YouTube Series – In-depth discussions of an album, artist, style or era. Like Prince. The Beatles. Matthew Sweet. Lounge jazz. The 1970s. You'll get the EARLY PATREON RELEASE before it goes public.
The Interview Edition – I talk at length with music creators, performers, curators & lovers. From veterans like Daniel Cousins of Albatross Heights to legends like Nicky DeMatteo. Have a suggestion for someone to interview? Let me know!
The MUSIC is EVERYTHING Edition – I break down a musical concept, fact, or opinion, and connect it to broader social & political issues. Topic examples: all music is black music; why trends no longer matter; why recorded music is better than live.

As a Premium Patron, you also get exclusive free access to LIVE & RECORDED CONCERTS, and discounted prices to all ticketed shows. Original songs from Nick DeMatteo’s band REC. Cover sets of artists & styles like U2, Fountains of Wayne, pop folk & jazz standards.  I'll even take requests.
