Hey y’all, my name is Jake Slay. I front a Southern rock band based out of Nashville, TN, and right now our music is picking up momentum faster than our bank account can keep up with.

We’re in serious need of a van. At the moment, we’re either taking two trucks to every show or renting a van—and if you’ve ever rented one, you know how quickly that adds up. This year alone we’re playing shows all over the U.S.—from the East Coast all the way up to Idaho. But here’s the truth: a lot of these gigs barely cover gas, and sometimes we even come home in the negative. Still, that’s the grind—it’s what you do to set yourself up for bigger things.

We’re a five-piece band, plus we travel with a camera guy and a merch guy, so having a van big enough for all of us (and our gear) would be a game-changer.

I wish I could just go buy the van myself, but my life changed on June 3rd, 2024, when my first son was born. My wife no longer works so she can take care of him, which gives me the freedom to play as many shows as possible—but it also means every dollar counts, and I'm too stubborn to quit.... lol

So I’m reaching out to our family, friends, and fans—the people who’ve believed in us from day one—to see if we can make this happen. A van would mean more shows, more music, and more chances to come see you in your town.

If you decide to donate, our whole band thanks you from the bottom of our hearts. We promise—we’ll bring the music to you. The wheels are ready to take off… we just need some wheels to get us there.

Thank you so much,

Jake Slay
