Patreon Inclusives, Vol. 1 - Digital Album

Patreon Inclusives, Vol. 1 is where the whole series started - a 21-track collection of original songs, covers, collaborations, live recordings, studio experiments, alternate versions, and works in progress originally shared through my Patreon.

The idea behind the Inclusives series was simple: make more music and share it without waiting for everything to fit neatly into an album cycle. Sometimes that meant a fully produced recording. Sometimes it meant a live performance, a rough demo, a vocal-only bounce, or a session still in the middle of becoming something else.

This first volume moves through soul, R&B, rock, pop, singer-songwriter material, and live performances, including interpretations of songs by Counting Crows, Bob Marley, Ernie Halter, John Mayer, Stevie Wonder, Chris Stapleton, Billy Joel, Al Green, and more.

It also captures early and alternate versions of original songs like The Reason I Am, Hearts & Scars, Crazy, Whatcha Want, Bodytalk, and What’s It Gonna Take - making it as much a look at the creative process as it is an album.

Originally released January 1, 2020.

About Patreon Inclusives

Patreon Inclusives, Vol. 1 was the beginning of an ongoing series built around sharing music more freely and more often.

The Patreon Inclusives collections document the creative process in real time - finished songs, live performances, demos, covers, collaborations, alternate versions, studio experiments, and recordings that might otherwise never receive a traditional release.

Some of these songs eventually evolve into official singles or album tracks. Others stay exactly as they were when they were first shared. Together, they offer a look behind the curtain at the music being made between the records.

Please note: This purchase includes a digital download of the complete 21-track Patreon Inclusives, Vol. 1 album. No physical product will be shipped.
