TRY EDWIN’S BACKSTAGE CLUB:
How You Can Help Others Find Hope And Comfort…
AND Help Yourself At The Same Time… By Leaving A Legacy That Restores Value To The Arts + Helps People Heal…
Please Do Not Read This unless you believe in bringing comfort and connection to those isolated by depression…
This is for you if you want:
24/7 Access to ALL of Edwin Culver’s Music…
To help the millions impacted by depression…
To support a mission that reaches people around the globe…
To leave a legacy & keep classical music + the arts alive…
Plus the bonuses outlined below…
"Healing depression through music" probably sounds like an ambitious, overly-lofty goal… You’d be right to doubt whether ONE artist can make a real difference in this complex issue… That’s why I need YOU…
Dear Friend,
If you’ve ever felt the healing power of music…
Then YOU’ve got to hear about this mission to bring hope through classical guitar.
Here’s why…
According to a recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health study, 16.2 million Americans experience at least one episode of major depressive disorder every year…
Another study estimates that 264 million people are affected by depression GLOBALLY…
There’s a lot of shame about it, too…
…“Why do I feel blue? I shouldn’t feel blue… how come I’m not happy like everyone else?”
It can feel impossible to tell people, so you smile on the OUTSIDE…
But inside, you’re shattered.
If you’ve ever experienced depression, you’ll know that it can lead to:
-Social Isolation…
-Relationship difficulties…
-Family conflicts…
-Substance abuse…
-Self-harm or suicidal thoughts…
You’ve probably seen the news about the growing mental health crisis…
And how it’s especially affecting younger generations :(
As a culture we wouldn’t think twice if a child or family member broke their leg…
But what about mental health?
Maybe you’ve witnessed loved ones suffer from depression or felt helpless against your own mental health struggles…
You, like so many on this planet…
Are painfully aware of the need for immediate, accessible mental health solutions… TODAY!
That’s why art-lovers like you join my “Backstage Club” & support the music I’m creating: to build a refuge for those affected by depression, and offer healing by transforming our brokenness into inspiration and hope.
Allow me to introduce you to…
Edwin Culver’s “Backstage Club” on Patreon
By joining my “Backstage Club”…
You can bring hope and solace to those struggling with depression by supporting music that transforms pain into inspiration.
Sometimes just listening to a piece of music is enough to interrupt the cycle…
And you’d think celebrities & famous musicians who’ve had depression would talk about it more…
But there’s still a stigma around mental health & depression…
That’s why I’ve chosen to identify myself as “...an artist & composer who gives expression to the burdens of others so they no longer have to bear them alone.”
And thanks to the generous support of all my “Backstage Club” members…
We continue to build a refuge for these 16.2 million Americans affected by depression.
Your contribution each month helps produce and share this music with those who need it most…
Here’s How It Works…
If you’ve never heard of ‘Patreon’ before…
It’s an online platform that allows anyone in the world to support the artists & mission they love.
Here’s the history behind it…
Back in the day, during the Renaissance period…
Artists had to rely on wealthy supporters called ‘Patrons.’
Patrons were the folks responsible for sponsoring the world’s most famous artists, like Michelangelo & Leonardo Da Vinci…
By covering their cost of living, art supplies, etc…
These artists were enabled to focus on what they did best:
Making Art.
But a lot has happened in the 500 years since the Renaissance 🙂
Nowadays, thanks to the internet…
Anyone can be a patron of the arts!
You included :)
My “Backstage Club” on Patreon.com…
Is the 21st Century version of the Renaissance tradition of “patronage”...
It’s an app/website (don’t worry, it’s not complicated or techy - if you can check your email, you’ll have no trouble using Patreon!)...
That empowers supporters like you to sponsor the music & the mission.
Your contribution, each month, allows me to compose, record, and share this music online…
While you gain access to ALL of my music, PLUS exclusive behind-the-scenes content that documents the creative journey.
It’s a modern way to support art with a deep, lasting purpose.
In this way, you can be a patron of the arts…
And it goes way beyond just giving an artist a stipend or paying for some art supplies…
You see, you’re not just paying for my living expenses as an Artist…
A large percentage of the money brought in through my “Backstage Club” on Patreon…
Gets earmarked as “AD SPEND”...
So we can reach more and more people online with this music via Facebook & Youtube Ads.
These ads cost money to run…
But they ALSO display in front of the 16.2 million Americans (264 million people globally) who are impacted by depression…
Meaning you have a first-hand part in helping others find comfort & connection.
Your support helps us pop-up in front of those isolated by depression or caught in the vicious cycle of doom-scrolling through their newsfeeds…
All while keeping both the “arts” & classical music ALIVE…
Reminding listeners they’re never alone…
And speaking directly to their struggles and hopes.
I’m not aware of any other artists on Patreon that do this…
Most of the money just goes straight to their bottom line.
But I also know depression firsthand…
It’s why the tagline at the bottom of my emails reads, "...an Artist and Creator who gives expression to the burdens of others in this world so they no longer have to bear them alone."
And I’ve poured those experiences into my music…
So that others may find refuge and hope.
When you join my “Backstage Club” on Patreon, you’re supporting an artist who genuinely understands the pain he seeks to heal.
Here’s Why It Works…
Studies show that music can significantly impact mental health by reducing stress…
Providing comfort…
And creating moments of joy for those battling depression.
(You can check out a whole host of studies here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6486188/)
I’ve seen this happen first-hand…
→ Whether it was dementia patients regaining their ability to speak while I sat next to them playing the guitar…
→ A deaf woman bursting into tears because she could feel the music when I allowed her to hold her palm on the face of my guitar during a concert…
→ Or post-concert testimonials I’ve received from fans like you sharing how YOUR SOUL was touched by the music.
And don’t just take my words for it…
Here’s what other supporters have said over the years:
“Truly wonderful performance! My friend you filled that little room with so much song, and healing light. I’m so glad I was able to make it! Edwin is a gifted guitarist, knowledgeable with music, a great guitarist… a class act!! I’m truly honored to know you. Thank you for inviting me to your performance.”
- Suzi Anthony, New Port Richey, FL
“Edwin, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your concert last week. I always marvel at how music can be a spiritual experience. It was both thought-provoking and beautiful. I look forward to attending more of your performances in the future.”
- David Breakfield, Bradenton, FL
“Our favorite after the beautiful, soul-filled and meditative music shared… was the totally informal-yet-inviting manner you presented all to participate - you brought us all together in a beautiful way.”
- Michael Krupp, Sarasota, FL

^Imagine having a place YOU can turn to when the weight of the day feels heavy—your own private library of music specially crafted to ease the mind & lift your spirit 🙂
This album is chock-full of music I haven’t released elsewhere…
And the only way people can get access is by becoming a member of the “Backstage Club.”
But more on that in a minute…
By now you’re probably wondering how much this costs…
The good news is… it’s up to you!
As of this writing…
The highest membership for joining my “Backstage Club” on Patreon is $2,000/month.
That membership comes with some really special bonuses/perks, one of which includes getting a full-length concert performed in your home (I’ll literally travel across the country to you!).
That said…
I know not everyone can afford that 🙂
So, I’ve put together several other membership tiers you can explore here.
(There’s one for $500/mo… (which includes a monthly guitar lesson or 1:1 chat)
One for $100/mo… (you’ll get access to a monthly live-streamed mini-concert with this one!)
And three lower level tiers:
$65/mo Gold Membership (comes with access to all my secret spotify playlists)
$25/mo Silver Membership (gets a copy of the score everytime I complete a new work!)
$11/mo Bronze Membership (gives you access to my “Backstage Club” community & Patron-only newsfeed)
Also, don’t forget…
Each membership includes the bonuses/perks of all the memberships below it :)
Click on the images below to see all the perks:
That’s Less Than A Concert Ticket…
Supporting this mission with $11/mo is a fraction of the cost of a live concert ticket…
Which can be $100 or more for an evening’s experience.
But here, your support gives you access to a personal music collection & concert recordings…
Plus exclusive content that brings hope and healing all year long.
The “Backstage Club” is also…
An Impact Worth More Than Dinner For Two…
Dining out can easily cost $50-100 for one night…
But for $65/mo, your support goes further, helping create music that gives people struggling with depression a lasting refuge…
And a source of comfort - something they can turn to again and again.
You’re literally helping others find a bit more peace in their lives, month in and month out…
Not only that…
I decided to sweeten the deal for you, by throwing in a:
FAST-ACTION BONUS:
Secret “Backstage Club-Only” Classical Guitar Album
On top of the already mentioned perks & bonuses that come with your membership…
EVERY member who signs up using this page gets immediate 24/7 access to the link for my secret, Backstage Club-Only, classical guitar album…
Which is an exclusive collection of music recorded to bring hope & calm to listeners like yourself.
I can’t guarantee I’ll be offering this bonus forever…
I might change the bonus to something else once we reach a hundred Patrons…
That way the first 100 people get something extra special :)
But in case that’s not a good enough reason to start today…
Here’s even more good news:
You aren’t being asked to spend any money yet…
Instead, you’re invited to…
Try Edwin’s “Backstage Club” on Patreon Free for 7 Days…
The best way for you to see how your support fuels music with a mission…
Is to let you experience it all for yourself, free.
Hit the button below & try my “Backstage Club” free for 7 days so you can see if you like it :)
You can even keep the link to the secret album bonus afterwards (there’s no way I can stop you!).
Once inside, I suspect you’ll be able to determine pretty quickly if being part of the “Backstage Club” is right for you…
And again, a reminder on what you can expect once you’re inside:
You’ll get to witness the creation of this music in real time, maybe even have a say from time to time on it’s direction 🙂
You’ll also be part of something bigger…
Touring as far as Yichang City, China, reflects my commitment to sharing and promoting music globally…
Which means you’ll be responsible for expanding classical music’s cultural impact and connection to audiences around the world.
If you’ve read this far…
You’re probably facing a fork in the road moment…
Do you sign up for a free trial…
Or go on wondering if you made the wrong decision… and what it would’ve looked like if you had joined?
