As a patron you'll get to check out new songs before they are available on YouTube or other music platforms! Plus you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you are personally helping support the continued creation of this music! Also, with access to the Patreon feed you'll get to see exclusive content and news about upcoming projects and behind-the-scenes info - both for The Cog is Dead and any solo work John Sprocket may be doing.

$15/moTierWOW! You're AMAZING! If you support me at the $15 level I've got something special for you: RARE unreleased recordings! I've been a musician for over 15 years now, and over the years I've written and recorded a lot of songs! I've got a huge collection of material I've recorded over the years, including rare unreleased songs written for The Cog is Dead, solo songs that few have heard, song demos, works-in-progress, and even the REALLY early stuff when I was recording bizarre low-fi comedic songs with just a cheap microphone and a guitar. When you pledge $15 I'll send you a bundle of rare recordings you LITERALLY can't get anywhere else because only I have them! Then I'll keep sharing rare recordings with you for as long as I have them left in the vault to share! (I've got a LOT)PLUS everything from the $1 - $10 level
