“Here, have a cigar…”

Why? Because our brand new app is live at last and I am one proud poppa! Long live 76fanclubs!

What does she look like? Well, let me take you back a little…

When I first started gigging in the late 70s I was getting paid about $75 bucks a night to play clubs in Montreal. 30 years later I still sometimes play for as little as $75 bucks a night.

Pathetic isn’t it? But I’m a musician and I love to play. And 75 bucks – or something like it – is the going rate in a lot of North American clubs. So I suck it up. But the fact is – as all of us working musicians know – that musicians are bottom feeders in the existing music industry. People spend billions on music, but the vast majority of that money goes to businesses not bands.

So what does that have to do with our little bundle of joy?

Everything! Because the whole purpose of 76fanclubs is to help you make a better living as a musician. Our goal is to connect you with your fans so they can pay you directly for access to your musical world.

Hey, we know that’s a big dream, and our newborn app has a long way to go before she’s standing on her own two feet, kicking ass and rocking your world. But you’ve got to start somewhere, and the 76fanclubs team has been going full out to deliver a healthy, happy baby.

So please, have a cigar, and give our little app a slap on the ass. We’ve got a lot to celebrate!
