Tonks is on Patreon!
After years of asking, it’s finally happened, Tonks & the Aurors has joined PATREON!
Since 2007, Tonks & the Aurors has made original rock music about Harry Potter (AKA Wizard Rock) and other books. All Tonks & the Aurors songs are written and produced by me, Steph “Tonks” Anderson, who also serves as show booker, tour manager, and merchandise producer.
The band and I have gone on tour every year since 2008. The foundation of the band’s presence in Wizard rock is playing in libraries, book stores, and nerd conventions. That changed for me and my rotating bandmates in 2020—cancelling over 40 shows we had booked and causing me to look into new ways to help us engage you, our existing fans, and new fans, too, so we can keep rocking the world.
With the recent transfer of attention within the Harry Potter fandom from the author to fan creators, it’s a great time to invest in Tonks & the Aurors via Patreon. I’ve spent time curating tiers that are interesting and achievable for me, even when touring starts up again.
WHAT DO I GET?
There are five tiers to choose from to show your support and get something in return from Tonks. These tiers all build on each other, so the higher you go, the more unique things you get in return!
$5 - The First to Know
You get early access to everything from song ideas and test episodes of a future Tonks podcast to behind-the-scenes photos and polls on merch ideas, items, and designs! You’ll be the first to know when we start touring again, too.
$7 - Stream Team
Being a part of the STREAM TEAM means you get access to a monthly live stream from Tonks. It might be full band, solo, or even a Q&A session. This tier will also include access to Patreon-exclusive merchandise in the near future!
$9 - Cover to Cover
Access to a monthly cover song that you can download only on Patreon, as well as access to the first two tiers!
$14 - BFF
Let's be BFFs! You’ll be on Tonks & the Aurors’ Instagram close friends. You can send us TikTok videos to duet/react. Submit song requests for live streams (Stream Team tier) and covers (Cover to Cover). We'll find ways to make you feel extra special at live shows in the future, too.
$50 - Common Room Party
You get a quarterly private live stream! We can chat or play some songs. I can give you a guitar lesson, or we can share a song-writing session. This can be a 1:1 session, or you can invite your friends and make it a party!
HOW DOES TONKS BENEFIT?
Not touring has meant a substantial hit to the income that goes directly into creating and producing new merch and new albums, as well as paying various regular bills that the band has (storage units, streaming services publishing, etc). Patreon will enable me to keep creating and to pay other artists to record drums, master our albums, and even work on new merchandise art.
A portion of all our income goes to ourYes All Witchesgrant program that assists new artists in beginning or furthering their Wizard rock careers.
