The Vault is a Patreon-style membership platform
created to provide members with a friendly and comprehensive user experience.
The Vault is artist-hosted, handcrafted, and Lex-Land-specific 💖

Just like at Patreon, Vault Members receive immediate access to years’ worth of otherwise-unreleased content, and are able to actively participate in the generation of new content on a monthly basis.
Because the new platform will have a higher financial overhead for me to maintain, and because there are so many years of content available at The Vault (that I’m migrating over from our time at Patreon), I am raising the prices of the tiers for all NEW incoming members…
…however, as an extra “thank you” for your years of early support over at Patreon, I would like to welcome you to The Vault by offering you your legacy pricing from your Patreon tier.
Additionally, you now have the option to make an annual commitment.
As a thank-you for that commitment, Annual Pledgers receive an automatic 20% discount (reflected in Annual Pledge price).
For more details about what you get and how it works, read on below…
“The Vault is so easy to navigate. The home page lets me easily explore recent posts, listen to/stream/download songs, submit prompt submissions and see information on upcoming streaming and live events. Lex really is focused on member feedback... what we like, what we want, and how she can make the experience better!”
“I am very happy with the switch over to The Vault [from Patreon]! Thank you for making your treasure trove of content easily accessible! I have, in the past, scrolled through Patreon posts looking for the most recent database update in order to listen to a specific song that’s on my mind. And now, like a beautiful gift, it is so much easier to find what I want (or need) to hear! I also love how The Vault links you straight to Discord! It’s really amazing to be able to interact with you & other people who love your work!! Thank you!”
“I wish every artist would establish what Lex Land has had in her Patreon membership: an extensive gold mine of recordings, demos, videos, deeply personal writing and, most intriguing, some items the artist considers ‘fails’ (I disagree).
I’ve spent god knows how many hours combing through this ‘Smithsonian museum of Lex,’ never failing to find another treasure in the archives. That said, Patreon is not the world’s most user-friendly platform (in my humble opinion). No features to customize the experience. That’s why ‘The Vault’ is such an upgrade. All the content, schedules, up-to-the-minute info and links to everything ‘LexLand.’
The Vault is an evolution of something really good reaching its true potential- serving, informing, and uniting a musical community in an exciting new way. The future is bright.”

How will the switch work?
As a Keyholder, you decide how much you'd like to pay per month
Access to the Keyholder-Only Feed and content starts at $1 (for former Patrons only)
All Keyholders receive access to all posts, regardless of contribution level
Upon sign-up at The Vault, you'll be charged your pledge amount immediately (for the current month, at a prorated rate).
Monthly Pledges ever after will be charged on the 25th of each month (for the following month).
Annual Pledges (the monthly Pledge amount for your tier, minus 20%) are charged recurrently based on the date of your signup
Subscribers can change their pledge amount or cancel at any time.
You will create a NEW account at The Vault, and CANCEL your Patreon membership.
The New Site:
My favorite favorite part of launching this new experience outside of Patreon is the customizability we will have for delivery and aggregation of content. (There are currently 100 original songs alone in The Vault, most of which are unreleased to the public.)
Upon signup, you’ll be directed to a center home “hub” for your tier, which will provide a nice little menu of everything you have access to that has been posted in the past (blog posts for all the new songs, streaming audio players, links to downloads, a calendar for upcoming events, and more).
You’ll also receive a welcome email which will help you navigate The Vault when you first join. Whenever new content is distributed, you will receive an email with a quick look and links to take you to the full post/downloads (just like you used to receive through Patreon).
You will be able to access, stream, and/or download all available the content on both mobile and desktop so long as you have some kind of wifi or cell service connection.
Here’s a very in-depth video outlining why I’m moving, and what I’ll be able to offer you that is an improvement from the Patreon platform:
Since you’ve been a Patron for a while, you already know how it works and why this membership exists, but just in case you need a refresher on some of the nitty gritty details, read on…
I'm Lex. I'm a working musician. As cheesy as it might sound, my life is music, through and through. Making it, listening to it, writing it, watching people make it. I've been learning and performing music for as long as I've been able to physically phonate - and now, to top it off, I live in Austin, TX - the "Live Music Capital of the World."
Though I've got a few albums released and get to do this crazy thing full-time, I've struggled all these years to find a better way to connect with music-lovers like me that are into what I'm doing, and to be able to create more releases without the assistance of a label or other false idols of the music industry. Then, finally... boom! 6 years ago, I launched a Patreon membership…
What's That?
Patreon is an awesome platform that allowed me to release my newest music and videos directly to supporters who contributed a monthly amount of their choosing for the last six years.
The platform is great, but not without its limitations, so in September 2021, I took the plunge to leave Patreon and create a custom and fully-loaded user experience on my own site - it’s called “The Vault,” and you’re currently standing at its door!
If you like the music I make and want to support me in creating more of it, you've come to the ultimate place. Check out the tier buttons above or below to try it out!
What I Release in The Vault:
Songs: Brand new songs, previously unreleased studio recordings, new versions of older songs, cover songs, requests from Members (“Keyholders”) and more
Music videos: Self-produced videos, concert videos, cute covers, and embarrassing vlogs where I may or may not have eyebrows
Blog Posts & Poetry: deeply personal and intimate diatribes about my inner life and creative process
New Releases: exclusive first-listens of new singles and albums
Some of these releases will be exclusive to The Vault and some will also be released to the general public. All of them will be made possible by the support of my SuperFriends here at The Vault.
Why I Make Music:
I ponder at the meaning of my own life each day and how I can best serve humanity.
Unfortunately (?), I happen to be peculiarly skilled at one thing: wearing my heart on my sleeve and somehow stitching a song out of it.
Times are tough these days, right? It's hard to stay informed and not get sad, or hopeless.
I know what I can do is provide what I have and fulfill my purpose by serving others through artistic means. Art brings us closer together, lets us see light in the darkness, that there's community in feeling lonely, that we can shift and elevate ourselves and our world by coming together.
Why a Club like this?
When you become a Keyholder, you're diving into the deep-end with me. You're becoming my label, my producer, my audience, and my cheer squad! I'll come to you for advice when I'm stuck, for encouragement when I'm down, and I'll come with great gratitude at every baby step we make together.
You'll get early access to everything I make (and pretty much everything I ever have made), first and special access to discounts and promotions, and you'll be directing me on which things to do and create next.
In turn, Keyholder support keeps me at my desk at home so I can keep making content like recordings, videos, and albums (and spend all the extra time performing live online for you, or out in the world).
This arrangement especially is awesome, I think, for three reasons:
1) It's a win-win. You get access to a lot of cool stuff that wouldn't exist without you.
2) It requires a really small amount to make a huge impact. If a lot of folks contribute a little bit, that creates a serious foundation of support that will allow me to keep creating, giving you more stuff... wait... I guess that's still the win-win bit?
3) There is no middle man - no other platform, no label, no distribution, no streaming service. It’s just me and you and the music.
What To Expect:
On a monthly basis, you will receive:
One Audio Recording of a brand-new original song
One Music Video of a cover song of my choosing, or selected in a Keyholder poll
Access to an exclusive evening online concert (usually featuring a special theme or guest artist)
Each year (typically in the Summer), Keyholders are delivered 7 Songs in 7 Days instead of that month’s single-song.
Instead of 7 Songs in 7 Days for 2021, we are celebrating the songwriting challenge’s 5th Anniversary with a special event: 30 Songs in 30 Days for the month of September.
Typically, each month’s original song includes a Prompt sourced from a Member, selected in a monthly lotto.
All monthly cover videos feature a credit scroll of all currently active Keyholders as a special thank-you dedication.
All new Keyholders have immediate access to ALL past posts and content (since the beginning of our Patreon experiment in 2016).
How to Join:

Signing up is SO easy and takes less than a minute so long as you have your payment info handy.

You’ll have immediate access to your tier’s home hub, and will receive a welcome email shortly after.
Final Note Info Bitlets:
This is the center hub for all my creative and musical projects and ideas, including Lex Land, and as a springboard for my side-projects, moorhaunter. and One Big Dark Room (as well as anything else that strikes me or comes up... sometimes things get weird, but, like, a good kind of weird.) I like to keep you on the edge of your seat ;)
I COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU! I am and always have been maniacally committed to making my art better and better, and I thank you, sincerely, for letting it mean something.
My supporters are my lifeblood. Writing what I feel and see is an often lonely and sometimes heartbreaking journey. Creating and then sharing with you all makes the good stuff in life seem less out of reach, a little clearer and a lot brighter. THANK YOU.
Let's do this!
