$0/moFreeHiddenPatron count not public
$1/moTierHiddenIf you pledge just a dollar per upload, you'll get every finished recording I upload and my heartfelt, honest thanks.
$2/moTierHiddenEVERYTHING FROM THE $1 LEVEL PLUS:
I'll also include your name in the artwork of any EP or album I print using funds you've helped me raise.
$5/moTierHiddenEVERYTHING FROM THE $1 AND $2 LEVELS PLUS:
You'll also get access to early mixes, demo sketches and alternate takes as a song takes shape - you'll be with me from the second I first hit "record" to the final mixed product. Subliminal messages included free!
$7/moTierHiddenEVERYTHING FROM THE $1, $2 AND $5 LEVELS PLUS:
Get access to a special video blog where I'll talk about the inspiration and challenges associated with each upload. I may also occasionally drunkenly read Leonard Cohen poetry or rant about something I saw on Reddit.
$10/moTierHiddenEVERYTHING FROM THE $1, $2 AND $5 AND $7 LEVELS PLUS:
Birthday Skype! I'll call you on Skype on your birthday. Or I'll call someone else you choose on THEIR birthday, anniversary or graduation.
Or I'll just call a random stranger of your choice and try to sell them memberships in my sausage of the week club.
Or I'll chastise your kids for not practicing their violin enough.
Or I'll read you a dirty limerick. Whatever.
You'll get a video recording of the conversation, too. Fun!
$15/moTierHiddenEVERYTHING FROM THE $1, $2, $5, $7 AND $10 LEVELS PLUS:
I'll personally write you a letter EVERY FREAKING MONTH. A real one. In an envelope. And decorate it with pictures. We will be legit pen pals, and I haven't had a pen pal since Kamwe Kamwe from Botswana when I was 7 years old.
I'm limiting this to 10 patrons because having to spend the whole month writing letters would sort of defeat the purpose of this whole thing, no?
I'll write about whatever seems interesting and appropriate, which will fluctuate depending on alcohol consumption. I may also include strange items/glitter/cologne testers from fashion magazines.
Won't it be nice to get something in the mail that isn't a bill?
$20/moTierHiddenEVERYTHING FROM THE $1, $2, $5 AND $7 LEVELS PLUS:
1 hour private Skype lesson! I'll teach you everything you ever wanted to know about a song or tune of your choice, or help you learn vibrato. Or we can talk about songwriting and I can help you figure out that pesky bridge you've been tinkering with since last April (hint: modulating to the sharp IV chord might be a bit ambitious).
You'll get a video recording of the whole lesson afterwards so you can re-watch it whenever you need a refresher.
Let's get real for a second - I usually charge $40 or more for an hour-long lesson on Skype. I'm assuming you'll stick around for at least two uploads, so please don't just sign up, take your lesson and cancel. That'd be weak.
$30/moTierHiddenHoly cow. Thank you.
As one of my top-tier Patrons, you're entitled to EVERYTHING FROM THE $1, $2, $5, $7, $10, $15 AND $20 LEVELS PLUS:
I'll sign and personalize a copy of anything I print and ship it to you free of charge, whether it's CDs, Vinyl, Posters, Songbooks or anything else I physically create with your help. These items won't be all that frequent but they're the goal I'm working towards and I'll be able to create them much faster thanks to your faith, support and generosity.
