WRITE A SONG REWARD #2: Once again, I will write you a song about whatever you want, but this time I will bang out a killer arrangement of it, take the time, and do a sweet full recording of the song.

Call it the special first editions.

HOMEMADE REWARD #3: You get the digital early release. You get the physical album, shipped straight to your door. But, if you are truly awesome...you will also get this amazing, handmade set of clay figures based off of the songs from the album! Made by my most creative friend, Sean Kerwin.

RICH STALKER REWARD: Get a digital and physical copy of the album and receive my glasses that I wore through out the whole process. Thats right, my actual perscription glasses, complete with scratch marks and water stains. Someday, they just might be worth something....

THE HOUSE SHOW REWARD: Digital and Physical copies of the album, plus I will travel to your area and put on the most killer house show ever. I will find my way to your neck of the woods, we can hang out and jam, and then that night Motive Makes a Man will rock out your living room. For sure. LIMITED TO AREAS SURROUNDING MY HOME OF NORTHWEST ILLINOIS. 100 MILES OR SO. SORRY, TEXAS......

RICH NON-STALKER REWARD: I think you get that by this point you are going to get a digital copy of the album and a physical copy of it....but you will also receive my very own, very special, microKORG keyboard, the very one used on the album! Take home a piece of maybe history?!?!?! I will sign it, if you like.

PURE SACRIFICIAL PHILANTHROPY REWARD #2: Okay, so at this point, nothing I could give you (at least nothing that Kickstarter will let me give you...wink wink) can be worth this ammount of money. If you are the kind of philanthropic, kind, rich, awesome person that just feels like making a young mans dream come true, this is for you. The feeling you will get of helping someone achieve one of their lifelong dreams will outweigh any reward I can attempt to give you. You are truly an amazing human being, and throughout my entire musical career you will be known as the person who helped start it all.
