Meet Xavier Gonzalez — Creator of SpareRig
"I've been playing keyboards and singing in Austin for years, and I know the specific panic that sets in when a piece of gear fails five minutes before downbeat.
I built SpareRig because I believe the local music community is the best insurance policy we have. We shouldn't have to cancel a gig because of a broken amp or a missing cable. We just need a way to find who can help."
