Friends,
In this tough and uncertain health and economic crisis for us all, I am dropping a line to inform all of you that I will be moving all operations online. All gigs have been CANCELLED and will hopefully be rescheduled. We are advised to practice social distancing making gatherings and even one on one meetings potentially risky.
Below I am listing the online services I will be providing for the foreseeable future in hopes that I can continue to make a humble living the only way I have for most of my adult life. I know many are in similar situations. Some worse. Some better. Some about the same. I don't expect anyone to take financial risks in order to help support my work, but we have to reach out whatever way we can.
Online Guitar, Electric Bass, Composition or Music Theory LESSONS via Skype, FaceTime, Zoom or Google Hangouts please reply here or contact: lessons@bentyree.net
Lessons will be $50-75/hour with some flexibility. Immediate availability.
* ALSO music transcriptions available. Email: transcribe@bentyree.net for details/info.
New album, Lifelines still for sale and streaming. It's a GREAT album and the best ways to support are by purchasing a CD directly from my online STORE (also all my other releases for sale there!) - CD Baby for international shipping; purchasing downloads - the best is BandCamp (can even donate what they want to pay if more); also on all the streaming sites (not great for artists as the royalties are not good but at least you're listening!).
Online Electric/Acoustic Guitar + Electric Bass tracking for your album or project. I LOVE doing this and it happens often here. I tracked my entire album Lifelines here as well as countless guitar parts and soundtracks. During this time, I will give sliding scale rates. I know you're working on SOMETHING and I know you're thinking, "Ben Tyree is probably too busy." Well, he told me to tell you he's NOT! Now's the time! Email if interested: sessions@bentyree.net
And finally - PAINTINGS! Yes, my remaining original works are currently available at my online STORE. As long as post offices remain open (which they current are), I can mail paintings, CD's, etc. These are very special creations to me and I'm a bit sensitive about letting them go but if any of them speak to you and you can swing the bread, I'd be happy with you owning one. The cover for my new album Lifelines is even for sale ("Velocity"). Check it out!!!
Seriously, thank you for reading and supporting. We will get through this. We will attain health and community solidarity and the ARTS will thrive again!!!
Peace and Love,
Ben Tyree
