Hello Friends,
In the early hours of June 16th, Cameron's 1968 Guild M-20 acoustic guitar, his gear, and many other items were stolen out of his car while parked in front of his house.
Items stolen include:
1. 1968 Guild M-20 in case with L.R. Baggs pickup
2. Antique suitecase filled with numerous Shure microphones, direct input boxes, XLR Cables, and 1/4" cables.
3. Box of merchandise including hand-sewn CD cases, t-shirts, and stickers.
4. Nike tennis shoes, numerous articles of clothing, a blanket, and yes, they even took a pair of Crocs.
Cameron's Guitar was purchased in 2012 for $1,400. After that, he spent well over $1,500 having it professionally restored. In addition, his guitar case, the microphones, cables, DI boxes, tuning pedal, and merch was at least another $1,000.
Even with a police report, his insurance isn't going to cover the cost of replacing anything.
Though we can put a price on the individual items, Cameron's guitar was his most prized posession and part of his creative identity. It was also a rare guitar which cannot be found at a local guitar store or online. This makes it even more difficult to replace.
The goal of this GoFundMe is for Cameron to purhcase a new guitar that is comprable to his last one.
Cameron struggles daily with anxiety and depression and the music he writes is a testiment that he, and others can overcome their struggles.
He wishes to write more songs of this nature and to record an album this fall explaining his journey titled "Well Again".
