Intro Message from Elias Haslanger

 Welcome to Patronism - a truly unique site for artists and the new arts patron. With your subscription, you receive exclusive content and access to the artist like never before and what's more, the subscription goes directly to helping the artist do what they love, create more art!

It's more than the music files or content though - it's about a mission to spread the word and love of jazz and other creative music. Join me in my journey! 

Your subcription will give you access to all of my previously released CDs (Dream Story, Kicks are for Kids, For the Moment) and material never before released (KUT Live Set) or currently out of print (Standards, The Journey). That's 6 CDs!

Here's the cool part - pay what you feel and you get access to all of it. Seriously, for as little as $2 or for as much as you want, you decide your level of commitment and you can cancel at any time.

I am currently working on 3 new recordings which I am very excited about. If you subscribe today, you are helping me to finish these projects and you will have access to this music before anyone.

Sites like Patronism.com are the way fans today will discover and purchase new music, art, design, photos, whatever. Welcome to the new model for musicians - you are making it happen.

I look forward to connecting with you!
Elias
