Our van has just under 200,000 miles on it. It's not making it much further...

That was five years and about a 150,000 miles ago. Over the years, our van carried five people, a dog, a drum kit on the roof, an upright bass, merch, amps, guitars, all of our clothing, and whatever else we could squeeze in - through every state we've had the opportunity to play in. When we first bought our minivan, we were playing bars and breweries up and down the East Coast, by the end of its time our dreams began to manifest into reality. Today, The Rolllin' Rust is showing up at nationally known festivals, playing on stages with the big kids. (CAAMP, Lord Huron, Jack White, Alabama Shakes, Watchhouse (previously Mandolin Orange), The Head and The Heart, Pixies, The Black Crowes, Sam Bush, The Wood Brothers, Ric Robertson, Dark Star Orchestra, Ryan Montbleau, Marcus King, Dirty Heads, Joe Russo's Almost Dead, Andy Frasco & The UN, The Disco Biscuits, Cabinet, Fireside Collective, Houndmouth, Sierra Hull and many more.) Unfortunately our four-wheeled member just doesn't have what it takes to keep going. We are far past needing a replacement.

The honest truth: the transmission is going, there's rust through the frame, it needs new shocks/brakes/exhuast - the next repair estimate is worth significantly more than the van. Rather than run a donation drive, we printed shirts. You get something you'll wear, and we get closer to a vehicle that starts every morning. If you want to donate extra, the option's there as well.

We're asking fans and strangers alike, music lovers from sea to sea, if they would lend a hand. The Rollin' Rust is a good example of how it starts for so many up and coming artists around the world. Whether you know the band or not, if you've ever enjoyed live music, driving around in a minivan is often where it begins. The next step is building a community around the project. In order to keep going, we need a little help from our community, far and wide, one shirt at a time.
