Hi, my name’s Reuben Ryan, and I’m the bandleader of Sydney seven-piece: The Real James Ryan Band.
We’re a seven piece band from Sydney currently trying to promote our debut album

aptly titled: ‘The Real Album’.

We want to do this by organising a tour where we pay local craft makers in each town

where we pay local craft makers in each town we visit to make merchandise for us. We have dubbed it:

THE SLOW MERCH TOUR
As an independent band based in Sydney’s Inner West, we derive a lot of our energy and resources from connections with the arts community
The band was founded inside a housing co-operative
and we have since relished every second of engaging with our local arts community to make songs, put together shows etc

In case you haven’t noticed, COVID-19 hasn’t done wonders for artists and arts communities. It hasn't done wonders for anyone, really
pictures of closed venues, sad vibes, etc.
Except for Jeff Bezos. Yuck
Anyway, in an effort to help revitalise the arts economy across NSW (and maybe get a few people to listen to our album in the process), we want to tour regionally and at each stop;
pay creators a flat rate of $500 to create merchandise for us.
Thankyou
(meant to be awkward. think aunty donna vibes)
The merchandise can be anything
from hats, to shirts, to sculptures, to embroidery
Well, a lot, it turns out
So how much money do we need to make this happen?
Firstly, we plan to stop at six locations: Wollombi, Newcastle, Katoomba, Braidwood, Canberra and Melbourne.

$500
That means $500 x 6 artists

$3000
Then, we want to pay ourselves for time on the road
(cos, ya know, we are working musicians and one of the goals of this project is helping artists make money)
So $100 per show x 7 musicians = $4200. || Then adding fuel (600) || accommodation (320) || CD manufacture (gotta spread the music 450) || it comes to $8570.
this should be like an infographic, so the numbers appear one by one
So, the whole point of this video is to ask you to help us reach this goal.
But what to you get in return?
