From FortPastor. com:

Unique is described in Websters dictionary as different from others in a way that makes something worthy of note. That may be the perfect description for the acoustic soul rock 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 thrown in to create an earthy, soulful whole. However, its not just the music that separates this band. This band is a social movement.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 have 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 this generation is facing. Their music serves as the inspiration and motivator for change.Having gained the respect of organizations such as Bose, Shure and G7th; the band tours relentlessly around the world. Even though Fort Pastor has shared the stage with the likes of Jars of Clay, Mercy Me, Christopher Williams, and dozens of others; they continue to build their underground Army for social change one passionate concert at a time.
