Fixin’ Chiclets- Helpin a Musician in Need ✌

Donation protected
My husband and I have been married for 5 months now- we got married this past Halloween 10/31/2019. My husband is a full time freelance musicians who makes his living performing live either solo or with his band PastMasters. Due to the recent developments with COVID-19, all of his gigs and work for the foreseeable future have been canceled with no hope of rescheduling or getting paid. But for us, this has had an even bigger affect on us. My husband started having dental issues around Thanksgiving (shortly after we were married) with his upper and lower partials and is at risk of losing several other teeth. The insurance has denied the requests for new and even fixes to his upper and lower partials. They have also denied the requests for 6-8 new crowns that he needs (which is why his partials aren’t working in the first place). I was hoping he could get implants as they seem to be the best and most permanent option but they are insanely expensive.  He needs his mouth and his teeth to sing. But just two weeks after the best day of our lives ALL of our wedding money was stolen- so no honeymoon, no home repairs and no much needed dental work for my musician husband. Now with COVID-19 he’s out of work as all his gigs have been cancelled for the foreseeable future. Now it seems like being able to afford any of this much needed dental work is out of the question. He still continues to make music every day at home but it’s been really difficult especially with his worsening dental issues. He was invited to participate in a group that will be performing live stream concerts straight from each individual’s living room. It will be done free via Facebook live, but if you like what you hear or just want to support him and his music more, we would appreciate any donations you are able to/want to give. The concert will be streamed Saturday, April 11th at 6:45PM EST on facebook live. He will be doing a mix of different styles of music including some hymns, originals and covers. He also makes and posts a ton of videos on a regular basis, so if you would like to make a song request, you can! He will try to do as many of those as he can. Please reach out to either one of us if you have any questions or requests! Looking forward to playing for you! Jeramy & Laura P.S.— Just a little background on my husbands musical career: He’s the founder of a very successful Beatles tribute band, PastMasters in Buffalo, NY. He sings lead vocals (mostly Paul parts), does harmonies, works out all the vocal arrangements, plays keyboard as well as acoustic 6 &12 string guitar and electric rhythm guitar. He’s also been in many other bands covering allsorts of genres- 70’s, 90’s and country as well as original music but playing the music of the Beatles has been his lifelong dream and he’s doing it. And I’m not biased when I say this because so many people and fans tell him this- but he is damn good... amazing in fact. He’s also the worship leader at our church and helps with the music in our church’s children’s ministry.
