Brothers & Sisters.

Thought I’d let you know what’s going on in our world.

Recently the fellows in Garage Voice stopped in San Luis Obispo while touring back to Seattle.  I came over and opened for them with an acoustic guitar.  That night we decided that we'd book a tour together as we've played with the idea for a couple years now.  I gave them my glockenspiel as a promise that we'd certainly go through with it and that they could return it to me when we met up.  sooo.......

TOUR NEWS
We’ll take off in early February for a month.  We’ll be covering the western US.  It’ll be a great pleasure to perform alongside these excellent musicians and all around great dudes.  Tour starts in Washington and will continue south.  You can find them at www.garagevoice.com and www.myspace.com/garagevoice.  
As for our set on tour - it'll be mostly acoustic performances.  we'll do some full band shows while closer to home during the CA portion on the tour.

RECORDING
We are blessed to have been given access to a vacant spot in San Luis Obispo, CA. that friends of ours have transformed into a recording studio.  We have full access to record and rehearse almost any time of the day - seven days a week.  
We’ve completed some new recordings and are planning to do a release in the near future.  We’re way stoked on the new songs.  Can’t wait for you to hear them.

BEN BLOOD PHOTOS
 






Ben Blood is a really gifted Seattle-based photographer that toured with the Garage Voice.  These are a few photos he took.  Check out an incredible collection of his photos at www.benblood.com & blog.benblood.com



Keep an eye out for new shows posted.  Talk to you soon guys.   Have a rad Christmas.

Brothers & Sisters.

We’ve confirmed a headline show at Downtown Brew in downtown San Luis Obispo.  It’ll be on Friday July 31 with honored guests Ryan Delmore and the Pat Little Band. 
We’ll be performing a very fun and dynamic set.  Expect new songs, as we’re writing for our new album. View our shows section for the details.

happy summer folks.

summer over here in pismo beach often means fog, lots and lots of fog.  truly i look forward to the novembers on the central coast of california.  weathers’ much nicer then.  
we’ve all been spending quite a bit more time at home lately.  we’ve been keeping busy writing and practicing. and elijah’s out harvesting wheat on the family farm till mid july -  like a real cowboy.  when a band’s upcoming shows section on myspace is bare, people are always wondering if they called it quits. no, i assure you that’s not the case.  

WRITING/RECORDING
so we’re writing for the new record..... and it’s in it’s baby stages.  we’ve got enough songs in the works for another full length.  i’ll put no estimated release date on it because i truly don’t know when that’ll be.  we’re currently writing and practicing in orange county and san luis obispo. we expect to begin recording in the near future.  one thing i think you can expect from the record is somewhat of a merger of our music now with the heaviness or intensity that briertone had.  a longtime friend of mine told me to never let that element of my music go.  we went from jumping around a stage and splitting my face open (at least i did once) in briertone, to performing on stools with glasses wine.  for this record, i’d like to fuse what we had and what we have, and maybe find a place in the middle.  

LOCAL SHOWS.
we’ll be performing a short set at downtown brew in san luis on thursday july 2nd.  we’re second on that bill.  we’re playing a heavy set that night.  dusting off the electric guitars!!
we’re excited for that.  the shows’ all ages. click on the performances section for details.

alright brothers and sisters, peace & love.

wonderful people.
i hope this message finds you well.  
we are blessed and rested. ready to continue the work that has been laid out before us; to write and perform songs that we pray will speak truth, encourage, and awaken those who have ears to hear.  we plan to keep busy over the next several months, to play out as much as possible, and to reunite with you.

here’s an update:
we’re rehearsing for several shows in april and may.  we’ll be performing in california, utah, nevada, and colorado over the next couple of weeks.  our sets will consist of songs from O Hear The Rattling, Briertone, as well as songs recently written.  be sure to check our shows page to see if we’ll be performing near you.  

we’re proud to announce that our brother elijah merritt has joined the group as banjo player.  he has been performing with the band and writing with us over the past several months.  in a place of need, God is faithful.  we rejoice in His provision.  He is the reason for which we sing.

brothers & sisters until we meet again - peace.love.joy

Brothers & Sisters.

Back on the road in April......
I wanted to give you an update on the months to come. We'll be out of commission January through March. I'm starting a temporary 3 month job that has really extensive hours. It also involves wearing a suit that prevents me from getting radioactive contamination (as shown in the sweet picture below). Emily and I worked the same job last year, which was the reason for the delay of our albums release. But it's a good gig and it allows me to work a ton in a short period of time, enabling me to tour and perform for the rest of the year. We've already begun booking a tour for early April! Looks like we'll be in california, nevada, utah, and colorado. when we return we'll continue to jump all over caifornia for weekend shows. can't wait to hug you guys again.



In other news....
we've been blessed to have banjo player, Elijah Merritt join us as well as drummer Mark Folkrod in recent shows. After a drastic change from heavy southern rock & briertone to a more intimate alt-country and folk sound, our music continues to evolve as we welcome in new musicians to write and perform with us.
God provides exceedingly and abundantly more than what we expect or hope for.

Stay in touch my friends. I look forward to seeing you again soon.
And by the way, I'll give no timeline or projected length, but we are writing for the next record.

love & peace.

Dec. 26, 2008 - Our Family, Something Sacred.

Brothers & Sisters.

'O Hear The Rattling' is now available for $10.00 only at SomethingSacred.com. Something Sacred is a family of artists and musicians. We've always taken pride in being a part of their movement to further eclectic art and music that has purpose. We share in our efforts to give the world quality art and music with the intent to use it to have a positive impact on lives. We've always stood behind Something Sacred, as they've always stood behind us.

Our plan is to work together closely, as did Briertone and Something Sacred. Eventually the Something Sacred team would like to create an online store of Adam Pasion music and apparel. We've also spoken of recording and releasing tracks that are exclusive to the Something Sacred site. For now, you can pick up our album as well as the Briertone EP's at their homepage.

We want to encourage everyone to visit SomethingSacred.com. If Something Sacred is not new to you, there are new developments within the collective. Check out the designs and new artists that have joined the family. Something Sacred is also home to a store of some really cool and rustic apparel. we love it.

It's great to be a part of the family.

hey all.


tour.
we've safely returned home from our western tour before the storm clouds and the rain. our trooper of a van hit the 250,000 mile mark and is still pushing ahead. this shorter trip was a reminder of how much we love the road and miss the friendships we've made these past years. we have every intention to return soon, and to stay out for longer.


thank you for your open ears and receptive hearts. in our efforts to make an impact with our music, we were blessed and encouraged by you all tenfold. and thank you for the home cooking, couches to sleep on, the showers, and good company. we are so rich in the Lord. the blessings that we have in our listeners could never be counted or measured. they are much more valuable than riches.


we captured parts of the tour with polaroids. i've scanned them in and put them in our photos section.


Our intention is to head out again in spring. until then, we'll play consistently in california.


some unfortunate news.
we arrived in san luis obispo at about 5am on sunday morning. brandon got some sleep and took off later that day to head to his house in orange county. while in stuck in traffic on the 405, a truck slammed into brandons stopped car. it totaled his vehicle and destroyed most of his instruments that were packed tightly in his trunk and back seat. most importantly, our brother brandon is live and well. God is good. check out the photos.



be in touch soon. love, peace & joy.

Hello Brothers & Sisters.
Thank you for picking up the new record. I hope the songs have spoken to you all. we had an excellent time reconnecting with you all during these past shows. thanks for the love.

TOUR!!
We leave on a short acoustic tour of the west on November 11. We'll be playing dates in California, Nevada, and Utah. Check the performances section on our site and come on out. Doing an acoustic tour gives us the opportunity to play more intimate setting shows, and place an emphasis on the new acoustic songs off the record. We're really excited to get on the road again even if it's just for a short while.

IN OTHER NEWS:
We're making a video for one of the new songs on the record. We'll be working with Patrick Lawler from Santa Barbara. We are so blessed by this brother. His work is great. We'll keep you all posted as we start the process in early December.

See you soon friends.

Cheers,
Adam
