    I just received the following email from another band I dig. It got me thinking? How can we make this happen? Mumford and sons have blown up and now it's Yarns turn for world domination.

    Hello Friends of RPS,
     
    Happy Holidays one and all. We’re reaching out to you this Holiday season in hopes that you can help us achieve a long term goal. It has been a long time dream for the members of Rose's Pawn Shop to have the opportunity to tour internationally. We've dreamed of taking our music many places in this big world but especially to England and Ireland where the roots of the folk, Celtic, and bluegrass elements of our music hail from.
     
    The opportunity to follow through on this dream presented itself this year when we signed with Owlsworld Entertainment, a booking agent based in the UK that specializes in bringing the best of Americana-roots music to the United Kingdom.  A 3 week tour has been booked for March 2013 that will take Rose’s Pawn Shop to England, Scotland, and Ireland playing 18 shows.
     
    Rose’s Pawn Shop is beyond excited for this opportunity to bring their music across the world and to create a new fan base. However in looking at the limited funds currently in the Rose’s Pawn Shop coffers, covering some of the initial costs to make the trip a reality has been looking a little grim. That’s why we’re reaching out to you, our fans, family, and friends to help us see this dream through. We’re hoping to raise $4000 to meet the initial costs of the tour. This will include travel expenses, gear and transportation rental, work visas, etc.. That’s why we’ve launched a Kickstarter campaign reaching out to friends and fans to help us raise the much needed funds. Please check out the cool incentives we’re offering in return for your support. Please give what you can. We here at Rose’s Pawn Shop are beyond grateful for any contributions you can make to help make this tour a reality.
     
    Here’s the link to the Kickstarter:

    We have 24 days to raise the $4K. If we’re at all short of that number the Kickstarter will not get funded. Please look through the cool incentives we have to offer you and pick something nice. Give what you can.
     
    Thank you in advance for your help.
     
    Wishing you all the best,
