Dear Amazing Music Fans & Friends,
In the highly corporate world of Live Nation, Ticket Master, and Spotify gatekeep the music you hear about, while ripping off bands and fans at every turn, we wanted to offer some alternatives.
There are a few amazing companies who are helping bands stay in touch with fans and take a fair cut for the service they provide. Please consider signing up for these.
We are moving toward communicating to fans directly through email and these services, and less um this site, since you have to pay to be seen/heard. We aren't interested in helping the rich getting richer.
I'm imagining due to the nature of this post, this will be not seen by many folks, and that is part of the problem!!
Additionally its more expensive than ever to travel so any support is greatly appreciated
PATREON:
Patreon is the single best way to support the arts period. If you care about some one and the music or art they are making, giving a $2-$5 a month donation on Patreon can really add up. Here are just a few of many ways support through Patreon can help musicians:
-Affording to travel to more cities to tour
-Making more merch
-Funding recordings and promo of records
-Affording music equipment
BANDCAMP:
Bandcamp is the best and most fan/band friendly music streaming and purchasing site. They take a fair percentage of music that they sell. All of our records are streaming for free on Bandcamp. If you're a completist can own ALL of our music via Bandcamp for less than $50, just click this link and scroll to the bottom of the page.

Also just a reminder, we will be in Germany next week, we have the very best time when we travel Europe and can't wait to see our friends/fans who live an ocean away. All tix can be bought through our site www.thebuildersandthebutchers.com
