Musician Evan Ballard is creating a new album and needs your help on Patreon in order to see his project through. If there is one group of people that have suffered the most during the Covid lockdowns it’s musicians. Evan Ballard is not only a musician, but also a father and husband. In addition to dealing with all issues of 2020 and continuing into 2021, taking care of his family, he is also dealing with bipolar disorder. Ballard has been creating music all the way back to his teenage years, but due to bipolar disorder has been unable to distribute a music release. Fast forward to today and now there is a platform called Patreon! With your Patronage we can help Ballard get to the $5,000 per month suggested support level.

Sometimes in life we aren’t consistent and that costs us. With the current state of Internet affairs I’m afraid the algorythm Gods highly favor consistency. That’s why Patreon is so important as a platform leading the way into the future as a sustainable business model. People with issues, like mental illness, that prevent them from being 100% consistent can count on the monthly support from Patreon. When the $5,000 per month goal is reached Ballard’s plan is to cover costs on his very first solo album. Those that join Ballard on this journey will be able to get updates on his progress, some undisclosed goodies, and a free album once it’s released.

Many Patreon pages include a lot of free content, but Ballard’s page is pretty much locked. Meaning you will have to pledge your support to his page at the $5/month level to unlock the content.

Progress So Far

Surprisingly Evan Ballard is already working on his 7th song. That was back at the end of Feb. so it might be more now. To find out if you like Evan’s music or not go to his page and scroll down to the Jan. 10th post titled ‘Shotgun’ that’s a streaming audio post open to the public.

What Are The Rewards?

There is one level of support and that is the $5 level. With $5 per month you will get one raw recording per month. This recording may or may not be on the final album. Right now at the time of this writing he has the support of 11 Patrons. That’s a great start!

Conclusion

I’ve said this countless times on my blog, we need to support the thing we value in culture. The support doesn’t always have to be financial, we could follow and like their content. If you really want to see the proliferation of artists you need to support them on platforms such as Patreon. You could also buy their complete album, buy their merch, or go to their concerts. Whatever you do make it known! If you like something make it known to your community that you value it. Consider supporting Ballard and the other artists I’ve featured on this blog in the past.
