Hello there! Let me introduce you to Maxine. Maxine is a 2017 GMC Yukon and the fourth member of my band. She came into my life in April 2024 after my previous van was totaled during a trip in Montreal at the end of 2026. Now, Maxine is in need of a new transmission. We’ve traveled extensively across the country, and her odometer now reads 115,000 miles, with 75,000 of those logged since I welcomed her into the family.

I’ve kept up with Maxine’s preventive maintenance from day one, ensuring timely oil changes and sticking to the Chevrolet maintenance guidelines. However, things happen, and we’re now facing some serious repair issues. Maxine’s transmission needs replacing, along with some brake work and a few other repairs so we can continue our mission to spread music, joy, and laughter.

I invite you to help us raise funds to keep Maxine on the road. We know times are tough for many, so if you can’t donate, we completely understand. Please feel free to share this fundraiser with your fellow blues rock fans. Come to a show, say hello, and we’ll do our best to keep Maxine running! Thank you so much for your support!
