We are performers, musicians, and craftsmen getting together to raise funds to help those in the… Josh Gaston needs your support for Orlando Relief Initiative

My name is Josh Gaston. It's with the utmost appreciation of everyone involved with this fund-raising effort I'm pushing forward to bring what we do from events, to concerts, stunt shows to craftsmanship streaming to you during these trying times. My partners were forced to close their restaurants, bars and companies due to the outbreak with the fallout being many of my friends being out of work. Servers and bartenders, managers and security, event staff and performers no one was immune. I promise you all this much (within the confines of safety, state and federal mandates) I will do all I can for anyone affected in these industries, not just our Orlando family.
I'm a master artisan and am lucky enough to love what I do in more than a few professions. Somehow my life has woven in to so many crazy paths, beautiful creations, shows, galleries, exhibits and unimaginably talented people.... To be honest it's like a teenagers wish list of "what i want to be when I grow up" only I never grew up, through sheer determination, hard work, impossible odds and a positive outlook I've found the impossible is possible.

Lighting and sound at my place set up for the fundraiser, this is just the low rung on the totem pole of cool venues we will be streaming from. Everyone will be very tense, bored, anxious and uncertain on the weeks to come... We will do our best to try and ease some of that woe with amazing music and cool events, all be it with no "live audience" brought right to your living room via streaming. Please like and share our page Orlando Relief Initiative and help us raise money for the service industry and music industry layoffs that affect so many. Thank you so much for helping us make this happen.
