Sneezy's National Tour
Hello, fans, friends, and family of Sneezy!
As many of you know, we have been a band for a verrrrry long time. We've grown up playing music together and this is our first-ever fundraiser! We just got signed to a record label and we're looking for support to help us with touring expenses on a national scale. Touring nationally will introduce us to new markets that will be the financial bedrock for supporting our careers as musicians. We need your help to bring the Sneezy experience to all corners of the country!
We were making some serious momentum before the pandemic devastated the country. Our last gig was actually at the prestigious Opera House in Telluride, CO with a very well-known act. We were all feeling extremely optimistic about the future as musicians and performers. Once the pandemic hit, it completely turned our lives upside down. Suddenly, revenue we had been counting on from live shows disappeared for what felt like an eternity. Band members were forced to pick up jobs to pay rent, etc. Instead of folding at this moment, we rose up to the challenge. We spent the ensuing next year writing the most music we've ever written. We buckled down on learning new music theories and skills, new instruments, new approaches, etc. Most bands would have folded and used their financial situation as an excuse to quit, but we all doubled down. We realized during the hardest period of our music careers to date, that music is exactly what we want to do with our lives.
Our hard work paid off this past year as Color Red Music, a record label out of Denver, CO reached out to us and extended an offer to bring us on board. We're in the process of signing the contract in the next week or so.
In order to build a solid financial base for all the members of the band to quit their day jobs, we need to go on a national tour. We have the demand, the connections, and most importantly a pipeline of new music. We're seeking funds to help with the infrastructure to help us sustainably tour, safely on a national scale.
If you've ever been to a Sneezy show, you know the experience the band brings. We're trying to bring that to cities across the country and begin to build not just a local/regional following, but a national one. Touring will be able to support the band financially as a viable way to focus 100% on music. We still have A TON of work ahead of us, but we've never been more excited to get after it.
All the money donated will go towards:
- A safe and reliable touring vehicle (and all associated costs like repairs, new tires, routine maintenance, etc)
- Outfitting said vehicle with bunk beds so we can minimize lodging costs when on the road.
- A reliable trailer and hitch so all of our equipment has a reliable home while on the road. This also frees up crucial space in the vehicle for band members (we have a big band!)
- Hardshell cases to keep our gear protected.
