From James
Music is a gift. It is also my livelihood.
I want you to have these songs. Everything on this site plays without a paywall and the EP downloads for whatever you choose, including nothing. If the pocket book is thin today, enjoy listening to the music and pay it forward to a friend or stranger.
The other half is this: records like Lost You and Separated take years, string players, studio days, an audio mixing engineer's time, and so much more. I do it for a living, on purpose, and I would rather ask you directly than let a platform take its cut and decide what you even get to see. So if a song did something for you, every act of support allows me to continue, once or monthly. That is the whole pitch.
James
Three ways
Take the EP home
24-bit WAV files of Lost You. Pay whatever you want, including nothing.
A little every month
Pays for the next record while it is being made. Change or stop it any time from your Stripe receipt.
Once, whenever
The tip jar. No account, no strings.
Questions
Can I get the files if I paid nothing?
Yes. Choose Free and the download page opens.
What format?
24-bit, 48 kHz WAV, the mix masters — or mp3s if you prefer.
Where does the money go?
Payments run through Stripe, which keeps a small card-processing fee and passes the rest to James the same week. There is no label, no distributor and no streaming tech giant in between. Your card details never touch this site. As this is support for a working musician, not a charity gift, it is not tax-deductible.
Can I still buy on Bandcamp?
Yes, and it is still there: jamesspaite.bandcamp.com. On Bandcamp Fridays, Bandcamp waives its own revenue share, so more of what you pay goes to the artist. There are eight of them in 2026 rather than one a month — the next is 2 October.
Are there other ways to support?
A few, and none of them cost more than this page does. There is a Patreon if you would rather give monthly there. There are lessons, if you want to learn guitar from the person who made the record. There are shows — turning up is support. And telling one person about a song is free.
