Amidst a drought of independently run spaces and DIY venues in the seacoast area, enter Pastor’s. Colin Grady and Nate Pastor decided to the pursue the idea of Pastor’s, an idea born outside Auspicious Brew in early 2024 and after the growing pains of two shows that year, they proved something without a shadow of a doubt: people were starving for spaces like this.

As 2025 began, they put their heads together. Pastor’s, the small ME-based DIY venue would come back, stronger than ever. Despite the hurdles and roadblocks that were thrown their way, the space thrived. With each show the turnout grew, breathing life into the garage, and stoking a fire in the minds of the Pastor’s crew. How big could the shows get?

Throughout the year, Colin devoted dozens of manhours into capturing the experience of a Pastor’s show. Devoted to authenticity in every moment- Setting up multiple tape cameras from the 2000s, hooking up live feeds on box TVs and running cables every which way. Performances, interstitial segues, passing quips from folks in the audience, all captured through lo-fi voice memos and the lenses of obsolete cameras, and transferred to Hi8 and MiniDV tapes.

Many more hours were spent lovingly assembling this piece weaving in and out of maximalist edits of performances from many of the artists who touched down on that spot of concrete in Berwick, ME. Why the old cameras? Because this is something that could happen anywhere and at anytime. This is the story of a garage full of life - and how you could be a part of it.
