Michigan’s Taproot Asking for Help After Thieves Steal Their Gear

It's not always easy being a band on tour especially for Michigan's Taproot who recently found themselves victims of a crime after someone broke into one of their touring vehicles and stole a bunch of their gear.

The incident took place this past Saturday night while the band was in Cincinnati.

According to the band, someone broke the window of one of their touring vehicles and stole a bunch of gear, including bassist Phil Lipscomb's entire bass rag, a bunch of pedals, their guitar tech's entire tool rig, their scrims, and more.

It was a major setback for the band with roughly $7,000 in damages and missing gear.

As you know, we have mad love for Taproot and want to see the guys continue to share their music on stages across the country. However, that can't happen without help from their many fans.

Here's How You Can Help Taproot

A GoFundMe page was set up with 100% of the funds going directly to the band and crew to replace what was lost.

With a goal of $7,000, the band is almost there. As of the writing of this article, Taproot had already raised just over $3,500.

Taproot:

But we're not just going to take, so we have some cool stuff we are going to give away both to the HIGHEST donation, and other stuff we will just pick people at random for, stage played guitars, signed test pressings, and tons more.

 

• Highest donation (Min $1000): Stage played ESP guitar, customized for Steve by Southern Sounds Guitars, signed by the band.

• #4 Taproot merch bundle with signed SCSSRS CD and poster.

Please help if you can. Let's keep Taproot on the road and going strong.
