Hey everybody,

I wanted to give you all an update on what was going on. As we promised at our shows, we are cutting our first EP album, entitled...beautiful sun EP! We are so exited to get these songs onto a record; it has been really amazing watching it all come together. We have officially finished tracking the songs and this week it is being mixed and mastered. After that it will go to a duplication company who will duplicate, print, and package the album. As for an actual release date we are not sure, but it will at the latest be out by the end of August.

The band played well in studio; we had such a good time putting down months and months of work. I cannot wait to show you all! Keep checking for updates, I will try to post more often. And thank you all for your continued support, it means so much to us right now.

God Bless,

Harlan, for the band

Summer 07' !

2007-07-12T10:56:00.000-07:00

Hello Friends,

I want to give you all an update on the happenings with TheSoulPrinciple...

For those of you who do not know, TheSoulPrinciple is a alternative pop/rock group consisting of myself, Nathan Garvey, Nate Best, and Daniel Linden. We focus on writing melodic songs that piont towards our Savior. It is our way of spreading the gospel through fun upbeat songs that will attract the attention of all sorts of people.

As a band we have many exiting events scheduled this Summer. The first is happening this Saturday, we will be performing live for an annual event hosted by the Sandy Assembly of God. They bring in many churches and their youth to watch a performance, and to have a time of worship and teaching. Last years event was great and this year it is lining up to be even better. It is a free to the public so come and enjoy a time of upbeat worship and song. The church is located at 39800 HWY 26 at the east end of Sandy, just as you are heading out of Sandy towards Mt. Hood it is on your right hand side. The show will start at 7:00 pm. As a band we have been working hard in writing songs and are exited to introduce about t en new songs that evening. Later this month we will be taking some of those songs into studio where we will be cutting our first EP album (extended play album, consisting of three or four tracks). The scheduled release date is mid August. After that we will be performing in a festival called Tom Fest up in Washington. All the details will be posted on www.thesoulprinciple.blogspot.com or www.myspace.com/soulprinciple. I would love to see you all at the event, it always means so much to have the support of our friends.

Thanks and God Bless,

Harlan, for the band

Preview Concert

2007-06-13T22:01:00.000-07:00

Well people, we're excited to see what God's going to do in this next summer! We just finished a private outdoor concert for some VIPs to give us some feedback on our setlist and overall sound. We're confident we've put together a killer set of songs and we can't wait to play it for you all!

Here's some pictures of our fun...

Stay tuned...
We're going to be playing several shows within the next month!
So we'll be sure to post some dates ASAP.

Worship Him!

2007-03-19T19:23:00.000-07:00

Harlan here with your update on the band! As you've seen, we are back and we've added a sweet drummer! We are very exited to have Nate B. on board. While we have not been playing shows, we have been working hard on several new songs including, (my personal favorites;) "Beautiful Son", "Open Flame", "The Window" and many others!
But this post is to show you that we are still active in music, we are not losing what it takes:). This past weekend Nate G. and I have the Privilege of leading worship for a debate tournament that included several debate teams from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. The debates were good and the worship was sweet. God was glorified through the young people putting their skills in speaking and debating to work. It was so neat to watch the many different teams debate; they all did very well.
We have several shows that are lining up this summer; we look forward to seeing how God is going to use them to glorify Himself. Details of what is to come will always be posted here on the blog, so be sure to check back for updates.

Live for His Glory alone!!!

Harlan

First off I want to thank everyone who came out to the show last night. Wow, what an awesome time it was. I was so encouraged to see how God moved through the music. And what an awesome crowd we had; you guys were so great! You inspired the band tremendously and we just had such an awesome time playing for you. I want to thank everybody who made that show happen, all of our staff that sacrificed so much, our photographer Paul Hartung, the Frankie Family, Scotty and the rest of you from Sandy Assembly of God. You guys were all so great and it was such an honor to work with you.
I would love to hear feedback from those that were at the show and have our sampler. But for those that did not get a copy of our cd you can download it for free on our website www.thesoulprinciple.com! And as soon as I get the pictures from our photographer I will post some here on the blog.

For His Glory, Harlan

Update

2006-08-15T21:14:00.000-07:00

Hey,

A lot has happened since the last update that Nate Posted! He went and returned from Russia, played two shows there and did a ton of street evangalizing. I am sure that He will have a lot more to say about that in the future! As far as TheSoulPrinciple goes; we are playing a concert that is free to the public, so come and see... "TheSoulPrinciple; A Time To Unite". We are being hosted by the "Sandy Assembly of God located at 3900 Hwy 26 at the east end of Sandy 97055. This is a gathering of youth groups in the Sandy area but the show is open to the public! It will start at six o'clock on Saterday September 9th so come and bring your friends!
Right now Nate is working in Seatle and will be there until Thursday so we have been having practices without him (it is really weird :) and next week Ian and Craig head out to California for a short term mission trip that our church does every year. They will be gone for a week, so we are a little crunched on time but by God's grace we will survive and be ready for the show.
I just returned from the Soverign Grace worship conference held in Maryland, wow it was so rich. God really used that conference to open my eyes to truths that I have never seen before so I can't help but share them. The first is the simple yet completely complex fact that all of God's wrath was completly poured out onto His son Jesus Christ, who was willing to take such wrath out of love for us, complete sinners. Just being reminded of that blows me away and makes me so grateful. But I also learned to expect God's presence in His church. This was an eye opener for me, I think that I am not alone in that going to curch becomes such a routine thing that I forget God said in His word that He is there and ready to commune with us every Sunday. Not to say that we cannot commune with God when we are not at church, no; not at all. That is the amazing God we serve, ready to be with us anytime anywhere. But there is a special significance to the church in God's eyes. So many times I miss out on that and just let Sunday morning be another day. That was one thing that I learned from the conference, the rest of the conference was so amazing as well. God really used it.
Well I am totally stoked to see how God is going to use the show on September 9th. I do expect His presence there and look forward to it endlesly. I hope to see you there...

For Him, Harlan

:: Update ::

2006-07-25T11:12:00.000-07:00

Alright everyone, I've got some good news and some bad news...

THE GOOD NEWS:
I will be leaving early tomorrow morning on a missions trip to Smolensk, Russia. So if you all could be praying for me I would surely appreciate that. One thing to remember is that it's about a 10-12 hour difference over there so if your praying for me at 10:00 am, its about 8-10:00 at night! CRAZY!

As for what i will be doing...

First I'm really excited because I was put in charge of heading up "the band." Yes, I'm apart of another band besides TheSoulPrinciple! (don't tell Harlan... he'd have a fit!)
So as a band, we will have two large scale concerts in an auditorium/hall that the local missionaries have rented, and then we will also play at a local cafe. Those are the planned events... Another half of our team will be doing dramas at various places (churches, parks, the cafe, etc.) and the band will probably have to play at these events also... so its a pretty big undertaking! But God is good!!!

THE BAD NEWS:
I guess this is might be considered part of the good news, but I will be gone for two whole weeks! That means I won't be able to update the blog... particularly with concert pictures!

Here is a couple for now…

Harlan rocking out... yeah!

Nothing cool about this guy...

THANKS EVERYONE!

By God's grace alone,
Nate

Hey All,

I thought that I would give you a general update on the band and what is going on after the debut of TheSoulPrinciple and The Devotion Campaign. First off let me say that all of the band members are still so exieted about how the show went and how God used it. It just exites me to know that God will use us and what He gave us for His glory. That is just another example of his grace. We ended up getting the pictures of the show just the other day and they turned out so well. But on top of that two of my best friends made us a DVD of the entire show! It was so great and I am so thankful to have that to look back on.
As for what is currently going on with the band; Nate and I having been getting together and working hard on new songs! We feel like God wants us to continue write and we are starting to see the fruit of doing so! And we are really seeking out what the next major move for the band is going to be. We want to be sure that we are doing what God wants us to and not what we feel like we should do. Nate and I did have a meeting with our pastor, Gregg Harris and he gave us amazing insight and awesome encourgments so there is a lot to think and pray about. Though I truly can't wait to see what God is going to do with TheSoulPrinciple. God is so good and I encourage you; Devote yourselves completly to Him. This has been on my heart and I have been writing about this in my songs. I will leave you with the verse that is our theme on the Devotion Campaign. Philippians 3:13-14 ...Forgetting what is behind I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

For His Glory, Harlan

2006-07-02T21:47:00.000-07:00
