Hey y'all! We're going on tour!.... again and again!
If you've seen one of our food reviews, or been to one of our events in the Catskills then you should know that everything we do is all an experiment. In the past, we've used Indiegogo to help raise funds but this time we decided to try remove a step and keep it more personal, with no 'fundraising goals' and stuff like that. We felt like Indiegogo was a little too impersonal so we wanted to try out some ideas to be more inclusive for our friends, fans and the folks who support our rock'n'roll cause and adventure :)
We have created a similar 'menu' for folks who want to contribute to safe, well rested and fed tour. We hope that this will help our fans and supporters curate this trip along with us! Similarly to the crowd funding, we have donation amounts, and will a video of what those donations get us on the road. Each contributor gives us a reason to make a silly updated review video. Just pick which one you'd like and you can use Paypal or Venmo to contribute and let us know any details in the comments of the donation. You can also include your address in the comment and we'll mail you a postcard on the road! ALL DONATIONS GET A VIDEO AND AN optional POSTCARD. If you don't want to give out your address, no worries! Don't send it! :)
If you want to make a cash donation find us at an open mic or show and anything that goes in the tip van will go into the real van :) Just let us know so we can make you a video once we hit the road!

$5 = 48 Hour Blend Coffee!
The classic get up and go! A lot of mornings we wake up in a truck stop and grab a cup and go! Sometimes, like in this photo, we go to a recommended bar and get the sting of the 48 hour blend bar coffee! We'll make a review video on it wherever it is!

$10-$15 = A few weird local snacks from a passing rest stop!
Sometimes $10-15 bucks can get you a whole meal, a few lattes or a limeade from Sonic! Which has saved our lives traveling without A/C in the van. We love discovering weird local snacks so we can't wait to review them and try new things!

$20 = Gas Station Lunch!
Could be snacks, could be coffee, juice a mix of something to keep us on the move! If there's something or somewhere you want us to report on, let us know!

$30-$40 = Omelette or burrito review time!!!
You know we're obsessed with burritos and omelettes and we love finding local diners or eateries that we can support and promote on the road for other travelers to check out! Also, in our travels we have learned that burritos and omelets charge us up for a say of traveling and a night of rocking out. They are the ultimate road meal.

$40 = Campsite song!
While some campsites are $7 dollars some are up to $40 for primitive camping and a shower. With this we'll make you a video of us playing an original, yet personalized song for you! If you have any requests, let us know. But there's nothing like sitting outside of the van and strumming the guitar before a show. Also, these campsites always get us showered! Which is key to good shows!

$50-75 = Time to fuel up!
There's no tour without gas in the tank. If we're stopping for gas, we're gonna get a snack too! So we'll be reviewing it, saying hi, and probably talking about the gas station we stopped at!

$100 - $150 Springin' For the Room!
We love sleeping in the van, but sometimes the weather gets bad and we have to spring for the room. We try to mostly camp, but every once and a while a bed is a life saver and totally recharges our batteries. If you get us a room, we'll play you an original yet personalized song from the room as well as a tour of the hotel! Also, any donations over $100 can become tour sponsors! Please send us your business logo to go on the tour t-shirt and the next poster by July 18th.

$200-$300 = Show time
We will come to your house, business, birthday party, venue, anywhere and play you a show. If it's not possible with the location, we can do a private virtual show. Whether we plan it into a tour or book it for when we get home. We'll talk :)

We're not attached to these 'perks' so if there's something specific en route you want us to check out or a food you'd like us to try, let us know! We're experimenting with an idea to help curate this experience to connect with y'all even more :)
ALSO! If you're a musician, whether you contribute or not, please let us know about any events, releases or news you'd like us to talk about in the videos so we can continue to help promote the Catskills and beyond while on the road :) We love y'all and going away makes us so psyched to come back home.

More info on the tour and our rock'n'roll mission!
Hitting the road once again! Heading back to places we've been and come to love and also discovering new spots! This trek we're staying mostly North with plans to head down South to play Side Pony Express in Bisbee in November. More on that soon!
Once again, we're heading out to spread the story of the Catskills music scene as well as opening doors and making connections for our friends to hit the road on their own future tours. Bringing the original music of the small towns in the Catskills to places that may never get to hear what's happening out here. We love getting out there and talking about what’s happening back home! And getting back home safely :)
We're going to be battling the elements, sleeping in the van in parking lots and state parks, and going to places we've never been before. We want to stay alert, sharp and healthy so finding comfortable safe places to sleep and healthy things to eat is the plan!
COMPILATION CD: Summer 2022, we put together a compilation album with Greg Castro of the Electric Chords mastering the tracks to bring folks the Catskill Scene Compilation Album Volume 1! This tour PART TWO will be the main focus! With more local artists and some recurring homies on it! We'll be printing thousands of download cards to hand out to as many talent buyers, venue owners, producers and anyone who we think will be interested in what we're doing and who we want to share some of our favorite music with. We want to get the buzz out about whats happening in the Catskills! Your donations also help with printing costs!
Check out the compilations out here!! https://catskillcomp.weebly.com/
You'll also be able to grab a download card at the local venues! Thank you Clowndaddy for making that happen.

This is just the basic costs of the tour. This doesn't count any hotels, food, snacks or emergency funds. Any and everything helps all DIY touring musicians. If it's not us, show up and support your favorite local artists where you can <3
If you're reading this but you're not in a position to fiscally support. WE TOTALLY GET IT. Your presence in the present and there's other ways you can help. The more people we bring to the shows, the more everybody wins. So if you're like, "Oh! My friend in Wichita loves rock music, they might enjoy this show!" Let them know! We're going to a lot of places and would love to meet your people :)
Once again... GO out and support the local artists, wherever you are! Especially if you happen to live in the Catskills. There's something to do every night!
The Catskill Brewery in Livingston Manor! AWESOME Beer! Caswyn Moon named a song after their famous brew Devil’s Path. Never hate a Monday again with Monday night open mic nights from 6-9pmish. Guest hosted by Shane Rennison while we’re on tour.
The Dale in Mountaindale, music Saturdays and Sunday Brunch! Open mics on Thursdays. Guest hosted by Richard Traviss while we're away. Eat the f'n pizza! ( and the spicy chicks, they're my personal fav)
Cabernet Franks, music all weekend! Open mics have been on call but Caberoke is always fire for anyone wanting to get out, perform and have a good ass time!
The Old Foundation in Kenoza Lake, music on the weekends and there's a bangin' open mic hosted by Jillian on Tuesdays at 8pm with karaoke at 7pm.
High Voltage in Mountaindale has awesome music on the weekends.
The Colony in Woodstock has music all week, inside and in the Beergarden in the warmer months. Open mic's on Mondays.
Rafters Tavern in Callicoon, music all weekend, legendary open mic on Sunday!
There's always something going on at Bethel Woods but we love hanging out at the legendary Hector's Inn. Occasional music and great people.
Feel free to use the share tools and help us get the word out :) If you want to help a local artist, share their shows and invite your friends. Wanna make music? Come to one of the open mics and try it out :) We're all in this to help keep the rock rollin' on!
See you out there!
Rock on!
Faith Kelly & Caswyn Moon
