Birds of Chicago Launch Patreon!
Friends,
This will be quick, as brevity feels best at this particular moment, when we’d rather you be watching, LISTENING and participating in our culture’s sea-change - than reading our updates.
As we continue to wrestle with the question of how to foster community, connect musically, and - yes - keep the lights on in this pandemic, we have decided to shift our focus to Patreon.
After some consideration, Patreon seems to offer the best opportunity for our community to stay intimately connected with all goings on at BOC... We will be debuting new songs, videos and other exclusive material which may or may not include a grilled cheese seminar by JT, exploring the historical origins of this marvelous sandwich, while offering helpful tips to avoid common pitfalls in prep and grilling.
So please, connect with us there. We have never had a typical fan-artist relationship with our extended community; this seems like the best platform that speaks to the closeness we feel with all of you.
Oh one more thing! A lot of you have asked about this, sorry it’s taken this long to respond... but YES - JT is going to offer a limited number of songwriting workshops... 2-3 day zoom or facetime based sessions of intensive, song-coaching, editing - or more developmental guidance and good habit fostering for beginning writers. There will be a max of two per month through October— so please, email us soon if interested.
Please, let’s not argue if this was actually a “brief” email. What would that serve?
Peace, Love, Transformation!
JT and Alli
