I've started a Patreon! (patreon.com/jamesgedda) You can subscribe for $5, $10, or $20 a month with different benefits at each level. But no matter which level you choose, you'll get a brand new song release from me every month, the first of which is available RIGHT NOW! There will also be exclusive weekly videos, livestreams, and discounts on merch (once I get new merch in).
Right now you can go listen to my song "Nowhere On a Somewhere Road," recorded in Nashville with my old buddy Blake Mohler of Midamerican Records. We had a lot of fun putting this one together, and it's got a real 80's Steve Earle alt-country kinda vibe. Let me know what y'all think!
To celebrate the launch of the Patreon, I'll be doing a livestream tomorrow night with The Big Breakfast with George Niksch of Lakeshore Video running things on my Facebook page at 7pm. Be sure to tune in!
