Become a Patron of Aaron Espe
A simple way to stay close to the music
If you’re here from 3 on Thursday, you already know how this works.
Aaron makes songs slowly. He shares generously. He shows up week after week without much noise about it.
Becoming a patron is simply a way to support that work on an ongoing basis—and, in return, be invited a little further into the process.
No pressure. No tricks. Just a quiet, sustainable exchange.
What patronage makes possible
Monthly patron support helps Aaron:
-
Keep writing and recording without chasing algorithms
-
Share unfinished songs, demos, and ideas that may never be released publicly
-
Say “yes” to creative projects that don’t make sense on paper
-
Continue showing up consistently for this small but meaningful community
In short: it helps the songs keep coming.
What you receive as a patron
All patrons receive access to the Secret Songs Club—a growing collection of 40+ unreleased tracks, demos, and works-in-progress, shared only with patrons.
You’ll also hear new music early, get behind-the-scenes notes, and occasionally receive small surprises along the way.
As support increases, so does closeness—through physical art, music, and direct acknowledgments.
Choose the level that feels right
There’s no “correct” tier. Most patrons start small and adjust over time.
