Getting ready to rock out! I play at 2PM. Show info can be found at http://www.JustinYates.net #liveshows #localmusic #supportyourscene #supportlocalmusic (at Bay Billards)
Please help me reach my goal!
The search is over!
After years of searching I have finally found the guitar made for me!
I’ve been to numerous states and have tried hundreds of guitars before I found this beauty!!!
The guitar is a Taylor Custom Acoustic Guitar: 6 - String Grand Auditorium w/ Venetian Cutaway.

The problem is that the guitar sells for $4,599! :/ Retail Price: $6,220.
Currently I can’t afford to get a professional guitar like that, but I can find a good medium between this guitar and the Ibanez I own.
With that being said, I’m going to be purchasing a Taylor ASAP.
I love the 214, 314, and 414 and hope to get one very soon!

But I need YOUR help!
Please help me achieve this goal by doing one of these three things!
1) Pick up a Sticker, CD, or T-shirt from my merch store!
http://www.Justinyates.bandcamp.com - http://www.JustinYates.BigCartel.com
I just uploaded a few merch packages online! Check it out!
- T-shirt - $10 (PLUS shipping)
- T-shirt, CD and 2 Stickers - $20 (FREE shipping)
-T-shirt, CD, 2 Stickers, 3 Pics, 1 Koozie and 1 Poster - $25 (FREE shipping)
You can also pick up the CD via iTunes or Amazon!
2) Help me find shows! Live performances can bring in $$. Word of mouth is a great tool when looking for show opportunities. For this option, all you need to do is make a post on your FACEBOOK/TWITTER/TUMBLR etc page about the music and let your friends know that I’m looking for shows!
Post any of these links -> http://www.JustinYates.net -OR-http://www.Facebook.com/JustinYatesMusic -OR-http://www.Youtube.com/JustinYatesMusic
3) Request a promo pack from me and help pass flyers around YOUR TOWN!!! If you’re able to take pictures, I can send you flyers and download cards! All I need from you is to take pictures of the places you drop them off at, or pictures of the people you give them to! It will cost me $$ to send out promo packages, but if you agree to take pictures when passing them out…I will send the promo package ASAP! :)
I would really appreciate your help!
You may think that making a post on your facebook/twitter etc or buying a $1 sticker won’t do much, but it will! Ever little bit helps! Word of mouth is a great way to spread info and as far as stickers/CDs/T-shirts… every penny saved is a penny earned! Passing out flyers to people can help with finding new fans andpossible gigs in the future!
