Will Miller Drums
I am a local WNC drummer/percussionist. I play with multiple regional bands including Supatight, Smooth Goose, Sidecar Honey, and Diamond River Band. I also teach private lessons and play drums at local churches.
Impact from Helene: Hurricane Helene directly impacted my income in the form of gig cancellations and travel prevention due to damage to my vehicle during the hurricane and road slides preventing my commute. I lost church gigs located in Candler, NC due to no power or water at their location for multiple weeks. My total losses amounted to over $2000. My homestead in Morganton, NC was also directly affected, making it difficult to care for my 15 animals and 3 children.
The ask: $800-$2000 to assist in recouping losses. Referrals to students for virtual lessons. Subscription and promotion of my YouTube channel @Popupdrumvideos so that I may turn that into an income stream. Notifications of local gig opportunities.
