Intro Message from Shawn Madden

Hello, welcome, and congratulations! 

You've found your way to a hearty tree of Life springing up amongst the ruins of what used to be called the music industry.

See the tree at the top of the page?  That's the tree I'm talking about.

The tree called Patronism.com serves as a beacon of organic nourishment for those who crave soulful creativity rooted in the sacred relationship between creative producers and resource providers.

This is my branch.

I am proud of it, and gratefully receive your presence.

Some very talented birds sing in this tree; I am honored to be among them, and I am grateful for the nourishment our tree provides.

Here's how it works:

When you become a patron, you choose to be a financial backer at the root of the Shawn Madden creative enterprise.

You do this because you have experienced my live performance, listened to my recordings, heard me speak, read my writing, seen my videos, or somehow encountered and connected with my work - and you are moved to contribute.

You do this because you believe that the world needs more artists who are committed to amplifying themes of gratitude, heart-centered living, and cultivation and care of the divine light that shines in every pair of eyes.

You do this because you value the work that I am doing, you are inspired by the passion and commitment to excellence evident in my production, and the themes and energy of my work contribute to and expand your vision. 

You do this because you are already invested emotionally, and you want to ensure your investment grows.

With you at my back, I can devote my time and energy to creating more music, videos, tours, and events that inspire, educate, and increase collective human awareness.

On a transactional level, what you get for your money - as in the 'product' that you're 'buying' with your monthly subscription - is an exclusive stream of patron-only content.

Your patronage grants you access to every studio and live recording I've ever made and as well as all content posted while your subscription is active.

This is true regardless of how much you contribute from month to month; it is also true that regardless of the dollar amount, your partnership gives depth and meaning to the work that I do.

This to me is the best part - check it out:

Your financial support gives meaning to my work - and my work gives meaning to your money by inspiring not only you, but others.  My vision is planetary in scope, and together we can potentially reach billions.

I am deeply inspired & grateful for the work I get to do, & I invite you to join my team as we embark together on a journey into and throughout the planet exploring and amplifying the transformational power of music and celebration.

See you inside.

Since you are now a part of the funding team, it makes sense to include you in the conversation about where the business is at and where it is (and could be) going.

A Patron-only Madden Moment, recorded while driving Big Red one day when I was reminded of a deep life lesson learned at the beauty school where I got my hair cut as a kid.

A Little Paul Simon

This video was made while housesitting for a friend; I was inspired to sing Paul Simon's "America" and put some harmonies in the mix. It's pretty rough, but such a great song!
