Attention to all those who support DRN’s music! 2019 is the 30th Anniversary of our album ‘SLAM’ which the single ‘Rainbow Child’ came from and was produced by Nile Rodgers in 1989 in NYC. We will be touring in the UK and Germany this December, as well as playing our hometown of Portland, Oregon on New Year’s Eve to celebrate this release and are now offering this Limited Edition ‘SLAM 30th ANNIVERSARY TOUR T-SHIRT’.  

We have created our own DRN original brand with this design as we are really happy how it turned out! For those interested these shirts are available worldwide here.  

[https://danreednetwork.tmstor.es/cart/product.php?id=35651](https://danreednetwork.tmstor.es/cart/product.php?id=35651&fbclid=IwAR3EmbTd-3mzt1bTDjinIN8vT6NneY3OrwwtF2b-ar8u8bI6im7BOBh0oQk) 

Using the highest quality material we could find this Tshirt has DRN labels and tags as well as the Slam Tour Artwork. This is a one off piece of Dan Reed Network Merch.  

Orders will be shipped early November, weeks before the tour begins. Also we will be donating £1 from each T-shirt to an environmental charity. We haven't decided on which one yet as we are investigating which organization uses funds for the cause best. We also welcome any suggestions to worthy groups you are aware of or have worked with in the comments section below!  

The fit will be similar to a Gildan softstyle T-shirt and even better quality so we hope you will enjoy this item as much as we did designing it with a nod to our past for it is the foundation to our musical future.  

We can not thank you enough for being behind the music all these many years!
