Patreon saw the number of new musicians on its site triple in April from March, with artists like Ben Folds turning there to engage with fans.
Ben Folds was in the middle of a symphony tour in Australia when the coronavirus forced him to hunker down in Sydney.
Patreon says the number of new musicians on the site tripled in April from March as touring ground to a halt. It's 9 a.m. in Sydney, Australia, 14 time zones ahead of his home in upstate New York. From his makeshift studio in a 550-square-foot apartment, Folds starts an online songwriting tutorial for his fans on, a website that creators use to raise money for projects. On some days he offers an over-the-shoulder piano class. Or he might just answer questions, tell stories and play a few tunes.
Folds says that in a month he makes about half of what he'd earn from a single gig, but it's sufficient to keep the lights on while he writes his second book and works on his next album.
