Please help spread the word and donate what you can! I want nothing more than to take this unexpected downtime and turn it into a positive, so let’s put forth our best effort to make a difference in some lives instead of panicking. so when all these tours got shut down, so did our livelihoods. It’s packed with respectful hardworking people who leave their homes and families to spend sometimes upwards of 8 - 10 months out of EVERY YEAR on the road. This is just a fraction of the thousands out of work in the music industry from all over the world.
If donations flourish, as a team we can hopefully chip away at rent, buy groceries, feed/our children, pay the phone bill, etc.īelow, you’ll find a list of 40 of my personal friends and fellow touring crew members that lost their jobs recently due to the virus shutdown. This will take time to sort through, but we’re all cooped up in our homes anyway, so we’ll stay busy with this work.
NOW AVAILABLE ON OUR "STORE" PAGE, for every tee you buy, you’ll not only get one of the new “Merch Daddy” t-shirts, but we’ll be splitting ALL the donations between everyone who can prove of the touring job they lost through the band themselves, the booking agents, or the management teams (Contact us through this page).
However, this time, I’m bringing back 2 NEW “Merch Daddy” tees to help others in need. A few years ago while working on the Vans Warped Tour, a friend of mine called me “The Merch Daddy” I guess due to my touring merch accolades, so I made a couple hundred dumb shirts with my face on them to sell for a good laugh.

Honestly, if there’s one thing I know how to do pretty well after all these years, it’s how to promote and sell a funny t-shirt concept. As I strongly encourage fans to continue streaming music, and buying new merch from your favorite artists due to cancelations, I’m also giving you an option to help out the crew members and roadies that help bring the shows you love to every city you see these bands in. Hundreds of tours have been canceled, venue & crew personnel are out of jobs, clubs are shutting down and most of us don’t know where to turn. I’ve been touring all over the world for the past 14 years but right now I’m at home in Florida doing my best to try and enjoy this downtime because as many of you know, our business is practically crumbling at our feet as we speak due to the epidemic. I sing for a band called The World We Knew , own a clothing company called CAT clothing, and most importantly, I make a living on the road behind the scenes working with artists and bands as a tour manager, merchandise seller, and more.
