The Coffee Can Collective

Today's post will be off our beaten path. We usually love consistent structure and scheduling, but sometimes you have to change it up for the greater good. The small, but mighty concept that I'd like to share with you today fights for just that: the greater good for all struggling independent touring musicians. This idea has been named THE COFFEE CAN COLLECTIVE (TC3).

TC3 is a passion project born right here at Modern Revival Media, but adopted in many areas throughout the US. It's foundation is simple: NO MUSICIAN SHOULD HAVE TO SACRIFICE THEIR WELL BEING FOR OUR ENTERTAINMENT. We, as people, thrive and depend on great music; without indie touring artists we would never stumble upon new sounds, etc. These artists, though nameless and faceless to you now, are the future of music.

Take it from us, when an artist decides to tour full time and give up all semblances of normal life, it's all for the consumer (aka: YOU!) And now, you can help them stay on the road without losing your own backend; TC3 accepts donations in multiple formats:

CLOTHES (Old Tees, Jeans, Sweatshirts, Hoodies, Jackets, etc)
BOOKS (New and Used, Fiction or Non; all pages and covers must be intact.)
FOOD (Canned goods, Microwavable bowls, Cereal, and more.)
BEVERAGES (Bottled water, juice, soda, etc.)
MISC. (Batteries, First Aid Kits, Emergency Vehicle Kits, etc.)


The list goes on and on. So, we urge you to get involved, spread the message, and donate to the cause. For more information and to join up with us to save music, visit http://budurl.com/fbcause now.

Thanks for listening.
