Female needs an acoustic guitar.

Donation protected
My name is Meisha Herron and I'm from the far south side of Chicago.  I started playing music at age 11 by listening to songs on the radio and 45s, and after taking 3 or 4 private lessons at a neighborhood music store, the music school closed down due t the neighborhood's economical decline.  I street performed in Chicago, played at the Chicago Blues festival in 2004, as well as House of Blues and Buddy Guy's Legends,   but I've never been able to really express my abilities because I could never afford a true quality instrument.

I am proud to be a musician because music can be very healing for my self and others.  Whenever I perform, I experience a beautiful spiritual connection that I like to share with others.  I believe music is a universal healer and there is life force within lyrics and music itself. 

I am currently doing shows about once or twice per month.  I need a nice guitar that plays well and has good "action", meaning is easier to play, so that I can get more work.  I believe my shows will sound better to the listeners with a nicer guitar.  The funds will be used to purchase a Martin or Taylor brand acoustic guitar from a reputable music retail store.

I need the funds sooner than later because it will help me generate more shows with a better sounding instrument. 

I my new acoustic guitar to record a new CD in the studio because people have been encouraging me to produce a CD which best expresses my sound so that I may share my music around the world!

The financial support will mean a lot to me and also restore my faith in people.  I will forever be grateful to everyone who makes a contribution to my cause and I will publicly thank all that contribute in my performances and on social media.
