"Unique"
is described in Webster’s dictionary as ‘different from others
in a way that makes something worth of note.’ That may be the
perfect description for the acoustic, soul-rock sound of Fort
Pastor. A blend of their Australian and American roots,
charismatic acoustic guitars are pounded as often as strummed,
with the odd didgeridoo, darabuka, djembe, and mandolin tossed in
to create an earthy, soulful whole. The band is a social movement,
as well. Ardently expressing their views on war, social issues,
and love within their music, Fort Pastor is out for social
justice. So much so that they created their own non-profit
foundation called the "Social Justice Army." Fans of the
band join the "Army" to learn more about the issues
their local communities are facing and how they can help. From
homelessness to fair trade, Fort Pastor wants their fans to be
informed of the problems facing our generation and feel motivated
to make a change. You can often see the band performing not only
on college campuses, but in churches, and private parties around
the country.
