Brobdingnagian Bards Now on Patreon (Patreon)

Greetings my friends

I am happy to announce some big news. The Brobdingnagian Bards are now on Patreon.

Are you as shocked to hear it as I am to write it?

This is kind of a big deal, especially the way we decided to relaunch the band.

For several years now, Andrew and I have talked about releasing a new album. Unfortunately, we officially broke up in 2008, ten years ago. There isn't much point in releasing an album for one show a year (DragonCon).

At the beginning of the year, I had a cool idea--start Patreon page. My original idea would've had patrons paying for each song that is released. Andrew didn't like that idea. We asked a few people. It didn't appeal to them either.

Andrew wanted something more. Something bigger. I just wanted to record more music with him.

We spent the past month talking and finally came up with a plan, using Patreon much like I do. We setup a fan club for the Brobdingnagian Bards. We provide content around the creation and release of new music. We release singles until we have enough music for a full album.

Yesterday, we launched that Patreon. The video is not yet done, but you can now sign up. There's no levels. Membership is a flat $5 per month, though you can also give more.

This money will allow and inspire us to create new music for you. There'll be a monthly podcast, live bootleg concert recordings, video blogs as well as music video performances, and who knows what else.

If we are a fan of my old group, I hope you will join us. Our first single will be released when we hit $200 in memberships.

I know this is a lot to ask when you're already generously pledging money here, and some for my Celtic podcast Patreon, but I do hope you will support the band. We'll have new music to share soon.
