We are SeaPoodle, and we’re reaching out on behalf of our bandmate and dear friend, Hunter.
Recently, the instruments Hunter depends on to perform, teach music, and record were stolen from his car. These instruments aren’t just expensive pieces of gear — they represent years of dedication, creativity, and memories, and they are essential to how Hunter makes a living and shares music with others.
Right now, Hunter isn’t in a financial position to replace them on his own. As his bandmates and friends, we’re stepping in to support him so he can get back to doing what he loves. This holiday season, we’re asking our friends, fans, and community to help Hunter rebuild what was taken. Any amount you’re able to contribute is deeply appreciated.
Funds raised will go directly toward replacing the stolen instruments, which include:
- Latin Percussion Karl Perazzo Signature Timbales
- Remo Mondo Djembe
- LP Salsa Cowbell
- LP Cowbell
- LP Jam Block
- LP Djembe Harness
- Ahead Timbales Case
- Ludwig Supralite Snare
These are the tools Hunter uses every day to perform, teach, and bring music into our community. Without them, it’s been incredibly difficult for him to continue his work as a full-time musician and educator.
We’re incredibly grateful to have Hunter as both a bandmate and a friend. Choosing a life in music and arts education is deeply meaningful, but it doesn’t come with the financial safety net of traditional jobs. If you’ve ever been to a SeaPoodle show, you’ve seen the joy, energy, and care Hunter brings to the stage — and we hope his music has brought some joy to you, too.
If you’re in a position to help him recover from this loss and return to performing and teaching, any donation — big or small — truly makes a difference. Your support will help Hunter continue sharing music, creativity, and joy with others.
In the spirit of giving back: at Hunter’s request, any funds raised beyond our goal will be donated toward purchasing instruments and materials for the arts education nonprofit he works with, Arts Education Connection, helping ensure the next generation of musicians has access to the tools they need to learn and grow.
Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting — it truly means more than we can say.
