Help Teagan & the Tweeds Replace Stolen Gear

A couple of weeks ago our beloved band van, Wilma Van Morrison was stolen in Rochester, NY. Inside the van was all of the sound equipment that we rely on using at each gig. The police were able to recover the vehicle but had told us that it was badly damaged. Today we were able to go take a look at it only to find that it was completely trashed and all of our sound equipment and gear is missing from the inside.

Over the past 15 years, we have made many memories together in this van, it has been good to us and we have taken the most thorough care of her in return. We are heartbroken to see the vehicle in the shape it is in right now, seats ripped out, the radio missing, the steering wheel column busted open, and our collection of stickers from our travels spray painted. It is sad to think that we can no longer climb up into those blue vinyl seats and ride our gigs together.

We have to replace the gear that was stolen as soon as we can to be able to keep up with our gig schedule. Unfortunately, insurance does not cover this cost- so for the first time in over 15 years as a band, we have decided to ask for a little help. We appreciate the support you continue to show us and are humbled by your consideration to help.

This is how the van was recovered, full of food trash, missing seats, and severe damage to the inside.
