We need your help to find a reliable vehicle to stay professional and keep us on the road touring and playing rock & roll music!

And many more shows being added!!!
Touring is dangerous and expensive. every dime we make from shows goes back into making more music, creating meaningful music videos, and making sure our equipment is functioning properly. Three vehicles in 3 years, that's how many Jasmine Cain and band have gone through. With the rising cost of fuel and repairs, it has become impossible for us to stay on the road with our used up trucks.
SO WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We have launched a Kickstarter Fund Raising Campaign online. This is a way for everyone that has seen us live and supported our live shows to help us keep going! If everyone pitches in just a little, we can MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
In all the years we've been performing live, you've almost never had to pay a ticket price to see us! This is a way you can help us keep those shows low cost and fun! We love all our biker family and with your help, we'll never miss an opportunity to see you out on the road!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR DREAM A REALITY!
Risks and challengesLearn about accountability on Kickstarter
Rock n roll is hard. I say it to everyone who says I took the easy way out. I am an unsigned artist so I have management, booking agent, or road crew. When the going gets tough, I just have to be tougher.
There are a million things that can and will go wrong on tour. Shows can get double booked leaving you without a job for the night, money comes up short at pay time sometimes...and sometimes no pay at all. There are all night drives which put you there just in time to set up and do a show. Keeping your instruments and gear working properly can be exhausting. And it goes without saying that it takes it's toll on the band who sometimes cave under the pressure. Everything breaks down, including our van.
The reason I chose Kickstarter was because it's not a hand out but rather a collective effort from everyone who listens to our music and supports us being on the road. I realize it's a huge undertaking to even launch this campaign and once completed, we are at the mercy of our friends and fan to help us meet the goal. If we don't make that goal, we get nothing and have to continue to find another way to survive.
If we are able to reach our goal, we will be preparing packages for weeks to make sure we meet our requirements. Those cost money also and will take an enormous amount of time to prepare, order, and ship out within time restraints.
However, this is our last hope for making this happen and we hope that everyone will see the urgency of this matter and help us get to where we're going.
