Remembering Joshua

Donation protected

Hello, on the morning of August, 2nd 2018 Joshua D Mckay (pen name: "Vega") was struck and killed by a vehicle while walking near University Place, Wa. He was 35 years old, many people in the Tacoma and Seattle area remember him as a charismatic bartender, caring friend and brilliant musician. I feel that it would be a great gesture as his friends for us to immortalize some recordings from a decade ago that I have recently discovered and remixed with the help of another friend Kyle Brunette and have them pressed to vinyl. Joshua touched many people with his loving character, his selfless actions in life and his brilliant voice as a musician and he greatly affected my life from a young age and I feel his music can continue to do so as a memento to his friends and family.
The goal of this project is to distribute a 7" vinyl pressing of his unheard/unreleased solo home recordings.
Each donation of $20 or more will receive a copy of the record including shipping with 4 songs and a digital download code to more songs.

Here is a preview of how the record will look and a link to a song:

Please stay tuned for more information including an upcoming event in which we will be playing some of Joshua's personal collection of records to celebrate his birthday and his life sometime in early September in Tacoma. Thank you for your interest in contributing to this beautiful project as we try and remember our friend in our way. -Tarek Wegner (friend)
