Go East, Aging Man
Starting Sunday, September 20th, The Yawpers lead singer/guitarist Nate Cook will start an incredible 700 mile journey from his hometown of Denver, CO to Tulsa, OK to raise awareness and funds for musicians that are struggling during this pandemic!
From the man himself-
From the man himself-
That’s right y’all, despite being a total amateur who has only been in the saddle for a few short months, I’m riding my bike from Denver to Tulsa. I’m doing so to raise some money that will wind up in the pockets of artists, and the professionals who support them. Starting September 20th, it will be just me, two wheels, two legs, a SAG car, and ~680 miles of open road. It could take me 9 days (unlikely), it could take me two weeks (more likely), I could get hit by a car and never reach my destination (probable). You just never know.
I'll be providing updates along the way, so you can watch my suffering in real time. I'll be posting how my pitiful attempts at training have left me woefully unprepared for the task at hand. Watch as my smug simper turns to wistful whimper. I'll probably even cry. A bunch. All for a good cause!
I really hope to raise as much money as possible, but 10k seems like a good starting place. I hope you’ll consider donating to a great cause. Hopefully we can raise even more than the goal. Give whatever you want, but if you feel like doing this in a more structured, didactic way, here are some suggested donation levels:
“Broke in Solidarity” (penny/mile) - $6.80
“Lunch Ride” (nickel/mile) - $34.00
“Dinner Ride” (dime/mile) - $68.00
“Nightcap with a chance for Breakfast Ride” (quarter/mile) - $170
(Note: There is no mechanism here for you to actually donate based on the actual miles I ride, so you’ll have to donate the lump sum, and cross your fingers that I’m able to complete the ride.)

Little Feat Livestream
Classic rock veterans, Little Feat, are no strangers to The Capitol Theatre, having played countless shows over the years since the 1970s. On Wednesday, September 23, at 8PM ET, the band joins FANS to relive their January 15, 2013 show once again with a special Q&A featuring Bill Payne. Music lovers are encouraged to make a suggested minimum donation of $9.99 or more to enjoy the show.
The year of 2013 found the band during a transitional period between lineup changes, playing with a renewed sense of purpose. At this legendary show, fans will see and hear the band playing both well-known hits as well as newer material from the recently released album Rooster Rag. Rooster Rag, by critical consensus, is their best studio album in twenty years, featuring four songs co-written by Bill Payne and the Grateful Dead’s legendary lyricist Robert Hunter, four breakout songs by Fred Tackett, and a superb collaboration between Paul Barrere and the late Stephen Bruton.
A portion of the funds raised for this livestream will go to the Rex Foundation’s newly established Rex Roadie Fund powered by Sweet Relief, helping crew members, tour managers, stage managers, and all production crew who work behind the scenes. Contributions to this fund will help pay for such things as medical expenses, housing, food, and vital living expenses, like utilities, clothing, transportation, program services, and counseling.

Road-less Series
The coronavirus pandemic -- with the wave of concert and festival cancellations left in its wake-- has particularly impacted the lives of independent musicians, most of whom rely upon touring for the majority of their income. While the collective music community has admirably rallied to raise millions of needed dollars for a variety of charitable causes, the organizers seek to help independent musicians earn critical revenues directly from their work.
The “Livestream Road-Less Series,” will provide all indie artists the opportunity to perform and monetize livestreams through a branded channel and experience on streaming platforms such as Twitch. Artists will get a free customized RoadNation.com page to sell unique experiences and merch like a virtual meet-and-greet, shoutout or instrument lesson.
