Otan Vargas Tour Fund (Postponed Due to COVID-19)

UPDATE: Since the virus outbreak all of my shows had cancelled or been postponed, it's been tough for live entertainers like myself since playing live is our main source of income, any donations will help me get through this tough times.. thank you all for the support, please stay safe and healthy. God bless.. - Otan------------------------------------------------------------------------I am Otan Vargas, a singer/songwriter, touring independent artist, and father of a 1-year-old baby boy named Gabriel, who is always on the road with me.I am currently raising funds to support my upcoming tour in 2020.  The amount I'm asking for won't cover everything, but I don't want fans and friends to think that I am only relying on crowdfunding to continue touring.  Once on the road, I plan to come up with the rest of the funds by selling merchandise.The immediate funds will be used to pay for flights from the USA to Europe for a 2-week tour in different countries. The money will be used to book roundtrip flights, vehicle rentals, and hotels. Right now, the shows that are booked are in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium which will take place in APRIL 2020, but I will be able to extend that tour longer than 2 weeks and to more locations, if I get the necessary funds.additional costs would be:* gas* meals* luggage * tolls* commissions* miscellaneous (vehicle maintenance usually)* possible instrument / backline rental* supplies (guitar strings, batteries, instrument cables, etc...)Later on, I will continue my tour to Asia and throughout the USA, considering the number of funds I'm able to raise. I would like to hit as many towns, cities, and states in the US that I can. So far these are the states on my radar that I've played shows in before. I plan to strategically add more states that I've yet to visit along the way.USACaliforniaConnecticutFloridaMaineMarylandMassachusettsNew HampshireNew JerseyNew YorkNorth CarolinaOklahomaPennsylvaniaRhode IslandSouth CarolinaTexasVermontVirginiaASIAJapanPhilippinesSingaporeAny help from you would mean so much to me. It's a dream of mine to tour throughout the US, Europe, and Asia. I want nothing more than to perform for you, the ones who are always asking for me to come to your area! I am so proud of what I have accomplished in my career in the past 13 years, but I'm entering a new chapter of my life now. It's a new year and a new decade, this is the time to apply everything that I have learned from writing music, playing shows with the artists that I look up to, hard life experiences I've had to endure to become who I am, and the things that I have learned from people of all different walks of life I've met along the way.I am motivated and inspired to continue even without any financial support, but your help would fast-track my efforts getting on the road. “When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties, and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”― PatanjaliThank you for your support.http://www.otanvargas.com/
