$3/moPaying Your DuesYou’re a fan of me, my music, and/or the podcast and you want to help make it a little more manageable for me to keep creating, so you throw a few bucks in the tip jar each month to help out.
Benefits:
This Tier gets you access to my basic feed of public Patreon announcements, plus any bonus episodes of “A Dirtbag’s Guide.”
$5/moHighway FriendsWhether you and I are lifelong friends, we just met at a show, or you recently heard of me through the internet, you dig what I’m doing and want to do your part to help make sure the music, the podcast, and my life on the road can continue.
Benefits:
Your contribution gets you access to my Patreon feed.A shoutout on Social Media when you sign up.
$10/moCouches, Floors, Whatever...What might’ve started as a chance encounter at a show sometime within the last 15 years, has now grown into a full-on friendship. You know that whenever I’m in town, I’ll likely be crashing at your place and you know I know the drill: “You can sleep on Couches, Floors, Whatever...just don’t wake up the neighbors.”
Benefits:
10% off of any online merchandise order. Message me in advance for your discount code.A shout out on an episode of "A Dirtbag’s Guide."Any benefits included in the next lowest Tier.
$20/moDedicated Dirtbags (Inner Circle)Maybe it’s the podcast. Maybe it’s my music. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s “The Worth” video I made with my brother and McBusStop back in 2015. Either way, my work has impacted your life in some way and you want to help keep it coming. You know that Spotify and other streaming services don’t pay artists nearly enough to get by and are fortunate enough to have the means to help out because you’re awesome like that.
Benefits:
Exclusive Dedicated Dirtbag's Merchandise Drop.20% off online orders. Message me in advance for your discount code.2 Guest List tickets to any Charles Ellsworth show once a year (When shows are a thing again).Any benefits included in lower Tiers.
$35/moWayfarersYou’re probably an artist or Dirtbag yourself -- someone who, when faced with the ultimate decision to choose between a career in the arts or survival, made the smart decision to thrive. Now comfortable in your successful career, you’re happy with the decision you made, but still want to help out those of us who couldn’t shake the struggle. When you came across my podcast or music, maybe you recognized a piece of you in my story and decided to follow along and lend a hand whenever possible. Thanks for your extremely generous heart.
Benefits:
Exclusive Wayfarer Merchandise DropQuarterly personalized postcards mailed to you, from me.Any benefits included in lower Tiers.
$50/moRoad DogsYou are the ultimate superfan. At some point, Pandora radio served up my song “Coffee, Rum, & Cigarettes” to you while you were drinking your way through a divorce and after a few more listens (and a few more rounds), you decided to pick yourself up off the bar and go back to school. Six years later, you are a divorce attorney making lots of money to make sure your client’s exes feel as bad as you wish yours did. Other than that, you are truly happy with your Labradoodle named James and the various Instagram crushes you have around the country. You still come to every show of mine when I come to town and even though you get free guest list tickets, you still buy two to every show to help support the guy who wrote the song that helped you turn your life around: Chuck!
Benefits:
Exclusive Road Dogs Merchandise DropTwo more tickets to any Charles Ellsworth show per year (in a normal year when we can have shows).Quarterly 1 Hour Zoom Calls. Guitar Lessons, Songwriting Coaching, Life Coaching, or just shooting the shit. I’m all yours for 60 minutes, 4 times a year.Any benefits included in lower Tiers.

Benefits:
Exclusive Hero Merchandise Bundle DropMonthly 1-hour Zoom calls. Literally, I’m yours for the taking for one hour, every month.Any benefits included in lower Tiers.
