Announcing: Artist Enabler Club

Announcing the…
WHY? ‘Artist Enabler Club’

This “Artist Enabler” idea was born out of a desire from our label, Joyful Noise Recordings, to support artists as they navigate an increasingly turbulent music industry. The Artist Enabler Club is meant to be a platform to offer fans a unique experience while giving the artist the lion’s share of the money (95% of digital, 50% of physical).

Beginning on November 1, Yoni Wolf will be creating new WHY? songs each month, and sharing them exclusively with club members. These intimate home recordings will be the seeds of the next WHY? album (expected in 2023). And by signing up you get to be a part of the creation process. Digital subscriptions are $5, and Physical + Digital subscriptions are $17 (which includes a hand-made lathe-cut 7" record each month). All of these demos will be exclusive to the Artist Enabler Club and not released on other formats.

By signing up, you'll receive:

  • An inside glimpse at the process of writing the new WHY? album.

  • Monthly deliveries of new WHY? demos and cover songs, straight to your inbox (in MP3 and lossless formats, delivered on the 1st of each month).

  • Monthly shipments of exclusive, ultra-limited hand-made lathe-cut 7" records (for Physical subscribers).

  • Access to exclusive merch and wooden box set (limited to 450 hand-numbered copies).

  • Monthly video messages direct from Yoni.

  • Regular Q&A video chats with Yoni and other club members.

  • Good Karma. You’ll be helping to sustainably create the next WHY? album!

Yoni's cover of 'We Are Real' by Silver Jews for World Mental Health Day available now.

I always looked up to ‪David Berman‬. His songs and his poetry book had a huge impact on me in my early career. His death was a staggering blow. We were only distant acquaintances but he somehow felt like a long lost half big brother or estranged uncle. I was a wreck for several days after I heard the news, listening to and reading all his work. Then I decided to learn “We Are Real” as a way to console myself. It was quite an emotional experience but sure enough it helped a lot to just sing his words out loud.

Listen to the song on Bandcamp here: https://whywithaquestionmark.bandcamp.com/track/we-are-real


In honor of World Mental Health Day, all proceeds from this song will be sent to AFSP and MusiCares. Available now on @bandcamp, and 10/22 anywhere you stream music.
Many thanks to @lala_band__, @itsgabbysworld, @grassless, @grahammarsh_, @prescription_pr, @bighasslemedia, and @joyfulnoiserecs for donating their time and effort to this cover.
