A BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT US
My name is Dejan Knezevic. I am a singer/songwriter and front my own country band named Last Train to Juarez. As an independent artist with no label support or big
money backing me, I quickly learned that being on the road can be a really difficult endeavor. Touring with a full band today is a huge challenge where we play gigs and
scrape by hardly earning enough money to pay the band and cover touring expenses such as gasoline, food and accommodations. Pursuing this dream of playing music
professionally is nearly impossible today unless you have deep pockets or major label support. So I realized if I am to keep doing what we are doing, I need to come up
with some way of raising money to keep us on the road and playing. Being an independent country music outfit, we spend alot of our time playing in honky-tonks throughout
the US. So I decided to start this company in hopes of subsidizing our touring expenses so that we can keep burning up them roads and bringing our music throughout the
US and the world.
As I began developing this business, I realized that not only can it help keep us on the road sharing our music with the world, but it can also help other artists who
are in the same situation as us. So we implemented a sponsorship program where we partner with other musicians as well. This way, other artists can earn some extra money
everytime they refer someone to HonkyTonkShirt.com and help subsidize their expenses as well!

I've seen many other bands raise money for recording or touring by asking fans for donations. I thought about this but that just didn't sit right with me. I wanted to raise money
for Last Train to Juarez while still providing something of value to those that join and that is how honkytonkshirt.com was formed!
