The next album

My debut came out in March. Now I want to make the next one the honest way: with the people who've been singing along.

A new song, first listen

I finished a song this week called "Saloon Lights". Supporters will get the rough demo by email on Friday. Tell me what you think; I'm still deciding if it makes the record.

The studio is booked

Five days in January with the full band. Thanks to you, the first two lines of the budget are covered, so the drums, bass and pedal steel are paid for before we play a note.

How it works

  1. Find an artist

    Every campaign is the artist's own page: their story, their budget, line by line, and what they're offering.

    How backing works
  2. Back the record

    Give what feels right, from $5. Pick a perk if you like: a signed record, a show, a song written for you.

    Where the money goes
  3. Follow along

    Updates from the studio, first listens, and the finished album in your hands before anyone else.

    Perks and shipping

Fair to artists and fans

  • Fees shown up front

    We Fund Artists keeps 5% of what you give, and Stripe charges its card fee. You see both before you pay, and you can cover them.

  • Keep what you raise

    Every contribution goes to the project, even if the goal isn't reached.

  • Refunds for 14 days

    Changed your mind? Ask within 14 days for a full refund.
