Colorado Springs show with Katie Herzig July 10

The Blackthorn Project — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 23:12:30 +0000

Colorado people! We are playing a short set on Saturday night to open for our friend and former bandmate Katie Herzig. The concert is at The Loft in Colorado Springs. We go on at 8.

If you were at Worship@8500 or have been to another of our house concerts, worship leading times, or teachings, this evening would be a great opportunity to reconnect with one another, look one another in the eyes, and then sit together as we listen to Katie’s beautiful music.

Worship@8500 Evening Worship Events

The Blackthorn Project — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 02:42:10 +0000

We are less than 1 week away from worship@8500 and I (Laurie) am starting to think it will be one of the highlights of my year. Seriously. We, along with some of our closest friends from Enter the Worship Circle, will be leading worship in the round for three nights straight. Three hours of worshiping together! I anticipate great movements of the Spirit, and I’m looking forward to profound revelations of the Father’s love for us, his children. There are going to be some major eternal happenings this weekend…I can feel it in my bones!

Anyway, I could go on…but I’d rather you just come and experience it with us. You can join us for just the Saturday and/or Sunday evening worship events if you’d like. Doors open at 6:30. Cost is $10 at the door. For more information, like directions, click here.

Camp and worship with us in CO–reg. by June 18

The Blackthorn Project — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 14:37:57 +0000

Hey, everyone, we need to let you know we will close registration for Worship@8500, the 3 day worship festival in Divide, CO, on Friday night June 18th at midnight. This will allow us to finalize our camper’s locations, buy the food, and prep the area for all our guests! We are so excited to see you soon.

Here is some great camping info: do you need to rent sleeping bags, or tents? REI in the Springs rents all kinds of camping gear: Tents, pads, stoves, etc. They just don’t rent out sleeping bags. For a 3 man tent it’s around $20 for members of REI from Friday to Sunday and $25 for non members. Their phone number is (719) 260-1455.

If you’d like to RSVP or get more information, call Cara at 719-207-2284. It’s $10 per person or whatever you want to donate. Here’s what our host have to say:

“Tim and Laurie Thornton create the fantastic musical duo:The Blackthorn Project. They combine bluegrass, Americana, New Folk and Gospel into a unique homespun sound that can make you both want to dance a jig or cry sweet tears depending on the song. We love their music and are so excited to have them around to share their music with us in a cozy home setting, we want all of you to join us…do not miss this opportunity!”

Seating is limited and there are already 23 confirmed guests, so hesitation leads to defeat. See you there!

Aaron Strumpel Elephants CD release & concert

The Blackthorn Project — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 20:11:34 +0000

There is a bedlam that stirs the soul to beautiful, harmonious, discordant worship and we are a part of it.

Our good buddy Aaron Strumpel has a new album called Elephants. We played with him on it and it stretched us musically beyond what we knew before. It was magnificent and is now available for you and very worth hearing. It’s not light listening (hence the name) but is full of deep, pungent layers and unhindered expression of every kind, all soaked in the scriptures.

Aaron is having a CD release concert on Friday night in Fort Collins, CO at Everyday Joe’s. Laurie and I will be joining many crazy (and I think crazily dressed) friends who will bow, pluck, pound, shake, yell, dance, and sweetly whisper into the microphone as Aaron’s band of supporting pachyderms. Come on out if you’re ready for some crazy Jesus love for the courageously faint of heart.

You can buy a CD at the show, but if you live far away, you can listen and order a first edition on Aaron’s website. Click the image or links above. Here are the show details:

Aaron Strumpel Album Release w/ Listener & Fienix,

One final note: Gary Adolphe is playing in the band. Wowza.
