Nate Cooke, lead vocalist of Bloodshot Records' artist The Yawpers, has announced a 7-date solo tour across the USA. More significantly, Cooke will be traveling the span of the US, from New York to California, by bicycle with select live dates throughout his 8 week-lok, 12-state, 3600 mile journey. Named "Go West, Aging Man" (GxAx), the ride is part of a charitable ride is a benefit for musicians and musical staff affected by the coronavirus. Cooke embarked on a similar, albeit much shorter trek from Denver, CO to Tulsa, OK last year and raised $17,000 for Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.
