PATRONAGE INTRODUCTION:

The history of art does not exist without great patronage. From the de' Medici family and Michelangelo to the Sforza family and Leonardo da Vinci, arts patronage has funded some of the greatest works of Renaissance Europe and beyond.

LIKE THE NIGHT ITSELF:

“It’s your job to take this art form to a new generation” - Tommy Emmanuel AM

Driven by an unwavering vision to create music that stands the test of time, I’ve built this project since its inception in 2022 with the support of incredible patrons who chose to believe in the vision early. Initially through the Australian Cultural Fund, and now privately, I owe the creation of my forthcoming album these supporters. Working with an art form I’m committed to for decades to come, I have a resolve not only to the purity of my own musical expression, but to the deeper impact I’ve seen it have.

Patronage directly funds the completion of the album Like The Night Itself, its accompanying films, and the creation of a lasting body of work intended to stand for decades to come.
