For people who care how songs come into the world.
Aaron makes songs slowly. He shares generously. He shows up week after week in his email newsletter called 3 on Thursday.
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.
Just a quiet, sustainable exchange.
What patronage makes possible
-
Keep Aaron writing and recording without chasing algorithms
-
Share unfinished songs and ideas that may never be released publicly
-
Show up consistently for a small, thoughtful community
In short: it helps the songs keep coming.
What being a patron is actually like
Patronage isn’t about getting more content.
It’s about staying close to the work while it’s still becoming itself.
As a patron, you may hear songs before they’re finished, see ideas before they’re refined, and occasionally get a glimpse into where something might be headed—or where it quietly stops.
Some things are shared often.
Some things are shared sparingly.
Nothing is overproduced.
There isn’t a schedule.
There are different ways to be close to the work
Choose the one that feels right for where you are.
Songs in Progress — $5 / month
For people who want to stay close to the music as it’s being written.
You’ll hear unfinished songs—demos, sketches, and voice memos—exactly as they are. Some are early ideas. Some never go anywhere. Some quietly turn into finished songs later.
There’s no promise of quantity. Just honesty.
The Writing Room — $10 / month
For people who want to be part of the process, not just listen from the outside.
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.
This isn’t constant or performative.
It’s simply how some songs get made.
You’re not just listening — you’re in the room.
Inner Circle — $25 / month
For patrons who want to support the long-term creative life.
You’re acknowledged as someone helping make the work possible. This includes your name listed on a patron acknowledgments page and select credits.
Once a year, when it makes sense, there may be a small physical thank-you—optional and unhurried.
You’re helping hold the whole thing up.
Whenever you’re ready, choose a tier
Songs in Progress – $5/month
The Writing Room – $10/month
The Inner Circle – $25/month
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.
What happens after you join
You’ll receive a confirmation and a simple welcome note.
Over time, you’ll begin receiving whatever Aaron is sharing with patrons in that season—songs, notes, questions, or quiet updates.
You’ll be part of a small, ongoing creative circle.
That’s it.
