Help Recover and Record: Support a Musician's Dream

I should have asked for help a long time ago.

I should have asked for help to master my first album and the three more I recorded consecutively. I never mastered any of them because I couldn’t afford to pay for it out of my own pocket and because of that, my music has been repeatedly turned down for radio play and Spotify playlists.

I should have asked for help when my van was totaled in 2021. I had a 1996 Chevy G20 that I toured all over the western U.S. in and even lived in it for six months during the pandemic. One night on the way home from some shows in Idaho I hit a deer. Due to the age of the van and it’s mileage, insurance totaled it and sent me a check for two hundred dollars. This didn’t even cover the cost of the Uhaul I rented to get my gear home. I have not had an adequate vehicle to tour in since then.

I should have asked for help when the transmission in my Subaru went out in the summer of 2023. I had saved some money up that summer and I was able to buy a new transmission and cover the repair cost but the event set my savings back to zero.

I should have asked for help when my brand new, two thousand dollar 2024 Macbook Pro was stolen in Mexico. I thought I’d be able to pay my new Macbook off quickly without incurring interest by recording a new album and using the earnings to pay for it but in December 2024, one month after purchasing it, I was getting off a bus in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico and found that someone had slipped my new computer out of my backpack.

I should have asked for help a long time ago, I've never actually asked for it, but it's added up too much to ignore the fact that there might be people out there that want to help. So I'm asking for it now.

I'm putting this out there because my music is worth bringing to the people who appreciate the authenticity and hard work I've put in to getting this far. I'm asking for help so I can record a new full length, full band album and fix up the van I recently purchased to get it into touring shape and keep doing what I've dedicated my life to, playing bad ass live shows around the mountain west and recording my original music so everyone can have access to it wherever they are.
