The great improvisational trumpet player Bill Dixon once said in an interview that he was more interested in seeing other musicians rehearse than he was in seeing them perform. The reason? He was more interested in how people went about putting things together than in the final product. I'm starting this subscription service for anyone who wants to a) support this work but also b) have a monthly glimpse into what goes into making the records I make, whether it be on my own, with Folk Implosion, with the Cicadas, or other bands I have brought in to record with me, like Simon Joyner's band The Ghosts, or more recently, Lake.
If you join here as a subscriber at 5+ bucks a month, you'll receive: monthly messages about music I'm currently working on and what my current influences and interests are - books, films, political videos, current events. I'll upload riffs, beats, textures, demos, and rough mixes. You'll get access to stream/download all of the 8 records that I currently have up on Bandcamp, as well as any future releases that come out while you're a subscriber.
If you join at 10+ bucks a month, you can get a signed physical copy of: Spare Parts LP or CD, Gnawing on the Bone CD, the Pure Night Plus 2XCD, the black vinyl version of Arches & Pathways by John Davis & Dennis Callaci, PLUS two t-shirts, one for Blue Mountains and one for my first cassette, Stars and Songs. You'll also get physical copies of mailed to you of any upcoming releases that come out while you're a subscriber.
While supplies last, you'll also get sealed mint condition physical copies of my recently retrieved personal stash of the following releases from the 1990's: Vinyl copies of Pure Night, RIP DIY, the Roadcone 7", Leave Home, Blue Mountains, Room For Space, Dare To Be Surprised w/ Dust Brothers remix 12" or on CD or Cassette if you prefer, the Insinuation and Pole Position Singles, 6 Communion era Folk Implosion posters, the "red" self titled Folk Implosion singles collection as well as the original Palm Of My Hand/Mood Swing 7", Blue Mountains and Stars and Songs T Shirts, and the Pure Night Plus reissue CD.
Anything that comes back in stock while you're a subscriber will be sent to you. For example, I hope to get more El Pulpo CDs, but I currently don't have any.
Thanks for your support whether it be here or on social media, live shows, etc.
John H. Davis
