November- the Patreon Month xx

Hello my incredible, beautiful patrons.

What a remarkable last month and a half I have had.  Full of some of the most remarkable shows I've ever played, so many personal and professional revelations, and so much inspiration.  I am incredibly grateful that I get to do what I love in this life.  So much of that is thanks to you.  I LOVED getting to meet so many of you!!!!!  Finally!!!  Thank you to everyone who came to these shows.  How special xx.

My friends, a few updates that will probably make you very happy :).  Because of the focus on "releasing" things this year, I feel like I haven't had much "process" to let you in on recently.  But all that is about to change.  I'm calling this month Patreon Month for myself.  Here's what's happening.

I'm going to Ireland for most of the month and retreating slightly from regular social media posting, so the most immediate updates updates are actually going to be right here on Patreon!  The paid tiers can expect:

-New demos- I am writing and producing a ton over the next month to try and set myself up for several singles and an EP for next year.  Your feedback on these is invaluable!!!

-An improv-a-day on Discord- it's back!!  Except this time I am uploading all of them to Discord ;).  At least a minute of improv from me everyday.  Some of it will be nonsense and terrible, some of it will be the seed of something brilliant :P

-Livestreams- two of them, one a more musical show and tell with some improv and tour stories, the other to talk about the community, updates to rewards etc.

-Practice updates- I want to let you in to how I get better at what I do!  So I'll share some sean nós and Irish tunes I'm working on as I immerse myself in the culture on the coast :).

-Experimentations with new gear- I am selling some of my old gear in favor of some new tech so I will be playing around a bit!  That should be fun.

-Your personal videos- good heavens I am so behind on these but I will get caught up!!!

Those of you in the free tier, I will try to do a newsletter every once in a while and notify you of new show dates or major releases!  This is by far the best way to make sure you don't miss anything, so thank you for signing up!  If you want access to these updates above, you can upgrade at anytime.

I'm also thinking about ways to bring more exclusive content to Patreon.  Patreon has some new features where we can host content directly on the platform which should make for a MUCH better experience of music downloads and exclusive video.  But I'm thinking of also starting a little podcast just for Patreon.  Not totally sure about that.  But it would be a mix of my own musings and conversations with fellow creatives.  Would that interest people?

So grateful for your presence here my friends.  I am so excited to be in a creative, generative mode again.  See you soon!!
