Get my new EP and support my ride across the US to play my music for my faithful fans and gain new ones along the way.
The goal of this tour is to play for fans and gain new ones. Even if you can't make it out to a show, the money you provide will help me grow my fan base on a national level which means more music, more videos, more me. (If you like that sort of thing.)...
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL FANS: You mean the world to me and I promise to do my very best to get to a point where I can go across the world and play for you as soon as I can. Supporting this tour will just bring me that much closer to that goal.
I finally did it. I quit my job and I'm heading out across the US to play for fans and strangers that can't make it to the NYC area to catch a show. I'll be playing at colleges, coffee houses, dives, and concert venues along the way. I am lucky enough to have an RV and an amazing driver that is going to get me places on my tour, but I still need some funds to get me on the road in decent shape.
$5,000 will cover the bare minimum of my needs which include gas and food. I'll be sleeping in the RV, but will need a few hot showers so you aren't too offended by the time I come to your town. This amount gives me enough to make it to the following states:
- Virginia
- Pennsylvania
- Ohio
- Alabama
- Texas
- Louisiana
- Alabama
- Georgia
If I raise $8,000 I'll be able to keep going the following destinations before Christmas:
- Tennessee
- Missouri
- Iowa
- Nebraska
- Colorado
- New Mexico
- Arizona
- California
*Shows are not definite and may/will change
By supporting me, you'll be giving me a chance to play for my current fans (hopefully you!), help me make new fans and help me continue making music. I am constantly writing new music and will have a new EP out early next year. Campaigns like this really give us relatively unknown artists a chance. Thank you so much for your support.
Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Youtube and other social media outlets have been amazing in spreading my music across the world, but now that I have a great fan base I want to use the old school approach and go on the road and play live outside of NYC to my awesome fans and possibly gain a lot more along the way.
Along with financial support, emotional support by my fans is crucial. This is why I'm asking you to come on tour with me. On the road, I'll be uploading different videos of my experiences, gigs, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Follow, subscribe, like.. whatever.. and keep up with my journey. You can continue support by leaving me awesome messages and telling your friends to come and support a show.
