I’m Alex Jancula, and I’m raising funds for myself and my band, The Watchmen, as we prepare to represent Charlotte, North Carolina in Memphis. We recently won the CBS Throwdown, and that incredible opportunity has opened the door for us to compete in the International Blues Society contest on Beale Street. This is a huge moment for us as musicians, and it means so much to have the chance to carry our home city with us onto a bigger stage. We’ve worked hard for this opportunity, and now we’re doing everything we can to make the trip possible and give it our very best.

Your support will help cover the real costs that come with getting to Memphis and competing, including lodging, food expenses, travel expenses, promotional materials, and any unexpected expenses along the way. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us get one step closer to representing Charlotte with pride and chasing this dream together. We know that giving is never something people do lightly, and we truly appreciate every bit of support. Thank you for believing in The Watchmen, helping us get to Memphis, and standing with us as we try to bring home a win and make Charlotte a staple in the blues community.
