Become an Aaron Espe Patron
Why become a patron?
Patronage is the simplest way to support the songs while they’re still becoming songs. You’ll hear sketches, demos, voice memos, and small notes from the process—and your support helps Aaron keep making quiet, human-scale work without chasing algorithms. Most people start with Songs in Progress at $5/month.
What happens immediately after you join
You’ll receive a confirmation and welcome note with access to the current patron page. Over time, you’ll begin receiving whatever Aaron is sharing with patrons in that season–songs, notes, questions, updates. You’ll be part of a small, ongoing creative circle.
Choose a level that feels right for where you are.
Songs in Progress — $5 / month
(Most people start here)
You’ll hear unfinished songs––demos, sketches, and voice memos––exactly as they are. Some are early ideas. Some never go anywhere. Some turn into finished songs later.
The Writing Room — $10 / month
You’ll occasionally be invited into moments of decision––lyric questions, melody directions, and “this or that” crossroads. When you’re asked, your response actually matters.
Inner Circle — $25 / month
You’ll be acknowledged as someone helping make the work possible, including your name on a patron acknowledgments page and, when fitting, select project credits. From time to time, Aaron may also send a small physical thank-you.
A few important notes
This is not a big platform or a content firehose. You can change or cancel anytime. If now isn’t the right time, that’s completely okay.
Not ready, but still want to stay in touch?
If monthly support isn’t right for you, you’re always welcome to keep receiving 3 on Thursday.
