Proceeds to benefit the NIVA Emergency Relief Fund
Now serving “Mosh Potatoes”.
Maybe you already knew that the independently owned music venues in this country were in peril — and if you love music as much as we do you probably want to help make a difference. While you can’t go see your favorite bands yet — you can buy this limited edition T-Shirt. 100% of the proceeds go to the NIVA Emergency Fund (National Independent Venue Association) to ensure we have a place to see music when the pandemic ends.
About NIVA.
NIVA's mission is to preserve and nurture the ecosystem of independent venues and promoters throughout the United States. ... Independent venues exist in every state across the country; they were the first to be closed, they will be the last to open.
Founders Note.
I grew up as a big fan of the local Arizona music scene. I would attend shows and offer to help the bands load in gear, sell merch, tear down after their set — whatever I could do to help or be involved. In High School, I hit the road for the first time with the guys from REDFIELD and Authority Zero and was hooked. From there I went on to run the merch programs for bands like 30 Seconds to Mars, Coheed and Cambria, Hello Goodbye, Jeffree Star, and The Used. I thought I had seen everything until I worked events like Coachella and Stage Coach — and eventually ended up managing the merch program for the final Warped Tour of 2019.
Music took me all over the world. Like many of us, my world was rocked via Covid this year, and my entire touring family was hurt just as hard. This is my way of bringing both past and future together to help my big misfit family make it in a post-Covid future.
