Isn't this the best time of year? Cooler, crisper days, lots of holidays, crazy multi-colored foliage.

Foliage. Ahh, foliage.

So, Halloween is awesome, and I think you should go to insane lengths to get wild with All Saints' fever!

Well, when the Darwin's jam ended back in the spring, some of the regular crowd reached out to the owner of a nice little neighborhood bar in Southeast Cobb County. John Capone offered me a venue to continue the jam, but aked that we attempt to do it at moderate volumes. Since it meant an opportunity to continue working with Jon Schwenke, I gladly accepted.

In the intervening months, we've had some really fine jams, seen some old pals from Darwin's, and made some new friends. We've had a good time, but all good things must come to an end. This Wednesday, October 29th, will be the last jam at Bradley's. Come on out at 9PM, and have some fun with us as we wrap up the latest chapter of Pastras jams. Keep an eyeball out, we might just pop up again.

Ahh, the Autumn! The changing weather. The shortening days. The trippy leaves. Gigs at QC's in Conyers, and Maddy's BBQ in Decatur.

Check out the"gigs" page for the details.

I'm now offering the entire album for free on this site. What? You say I've gone mad? Well, maybe so. But still, the whole Jason Pastras Trio CD, JP3, is available for free download from www.extraplush.com.

You can get any or all of the tracks on the Sounds page.

To make matters worse, I'll be adding even more archival recordings to the site over the month of April. The next thing to be released will be a performance at Atlanta's own Five Spot, in Little Five Points.

If you like anything you download, let us know.

Nobody can ever find this link on my site, and people always ask, so here ya go: I play Rick Kelly guitars, and don't know why I would ever play anything else. The guitars are the best, the prices are the best, and Rick Kelly is the best kind of human being. Buy ten!

Sure, we're giving all the music away for free here on the site. but, maybe you don't like the mp3's, or the iPods, or any of this Interwebs crap. Well, we understand how you feel, and we have real, honest-to-Gong CD stuff for you.

Grab ahold of some real!. Grab a hold of a Jason Pastras Trio CD! You can get them at Target, Amazon, and ITunes.

Want to buy a CD, but support the "little guy"? While the CD is available on Amazon, I'm concerned that Amazon, being just a Web site and all, is not as concerned with your immediate satisfaction as I am. So, please click here to buy as many as you'd like directly from us. This shopping cart is a service from the manufacturer, and it's so secure, we use it ourselves! (The shopping cart will open in a new window.)

I should probably draw your attention to the fact that I do maintain a Myspace site. I'm working on updating the myspace page, which can be found at www.myspace.com/extraplush. Always check there for gig information that you might not find here.

If you're here because you're interested in my work with The Luxury Kings, then click that link for the juice, baby!

Check out the new Buy Music page. It's stuff from me and my friends.

We have a Google Groups mailing list because we believe they treat you right. Use the fancy box at the top of the page to receive e-mails about when I'm playing with any of my bands.
