Cascading Elephants Tour

Hi, I'm Ben Parker, I perform experimental electronic music as Cascading Elephants.  I'm honored to be going on a tour with one of my favorite bands, Soul Cannon, this summer.  However, I need a little help paying for tour essentials, including a van rental, gas, food and promotion for the shows.  I am currently a freshman in college and am majoring in music.  Music means the world to me, and to be able to do a tour of this length with some of the most talented musicians I've ever met would be the experience of a lifetime. This tour is a vital step towards achieving my dream of having a full time career as a musician in the future.  Any amount that you're able to give would make an enourmous difference in making this tour possible.  So far the schedule is:

June 10 - Baltimore, MD @ Joe Squared
June 20 - Wilmington, DE @ 1984*
June 21 - New York, NY @ Pianos*
June 22 - Providence, RI @ AS220*
June 23 - Boston, MA @ Out of the Blue Too Gallery*
June 24 - Bloomfield, CT @ Bloomfield Village Pizza*
June 25 - Oceanport, NJ @ Firehouse Studios*
June 26 - Philadelphia, PA @ The Fire*
June 28 - Baltimore, MD @ The Depot
June 29 - Frederick, MD @ Cafe Nola
June 30 - Annapolis, MD @ Metropolitan Lounge
July 31 - Arlington, VA @ Galaxy Hut

*with Soul Cannon

I do have some savings set aside for this tour, but it's not quite enough cover everything.  The proceeds from this fund will first be used to cover part of a van rental.  Anything left over will be designated for gas, insurance, food and promoting the shows.

Any donation would mean the world to me.  You make the music happen!

Thank you!
Ben
