It is my great pleasure to announce the second payout from "THE COMMITMENT". Click here for all the details. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the folks who made a purchase of FIVE CORNERS or downloaded a few tracks from iTunes. You have made it possible for me to continue, on your behalf, to support these fine organizations. I have to say that since my full time return to the world of engineering and my involvement in the solar power industry, I am simply amazed at how folks continue to find my music and make purchases with virtually no promotion on my part...I am humbled and grateful beyond words. Namaste.

It certainly has been a "Long Time Coming", but I'm really gratified to announce the first payout from "THE COMMITMENT". I invite those not familiar with this effort to click here for the details and rules of "THE COMMITMENT". Basically, 50% of the profits from the sale of FIVE CORNERS go directly to two really wonderful and worth while charities 1) The New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity (they are doing great things for folks still without housing after Katrina) and 2) Homes for Our Troops (these folks are building handicap friendly homes for returning disabled veterans from the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (25,000 and counting). In short, these folks are doing what the Current Administration is incapable and unwilling to do...taking care of their fellow Americans in desperate need.

Well Folks, those of you who visit this site often may have noticed that things have been a bit quiet here for the past few months, and for good reason. I've been working behind the scenes to pull off a massive retooling of the VASH GIGGAGE MACHINE.
So...without further delay....it is my great pleasure to make the following announcement:
I HAVE ENTERED THE SOLAR POWER INDUSTRY!!!
Music remains a true love of mine, and in fact, I am working on a bunch of new tunes, but I am thrilled beyond words to have an opportunity to join the front lines in the important work to liberate the American People from the Tyranny of the Grid.
...Stay tuned....more details to follow....

I’m totally stoked to report that FIVE CORNERS was selected in January as one of the TOP 100 CD's of 2005 by UpStage Magazine, a very cool monthly arts and music publication. Upstage reviewed a wide range of releases from across the country including National and Regional Artists signed to major labels as well as local independent artists. UpStage also conducted an online poll of its readership to rank the TOP 100. Click on THE HOT 100 to see where I finished. BIG TIME THANKS to Upstage Magazine and all the folks who voted for FIVE CORNERS, your support is greatly appreciated!!!

I’m excited and flat out giddy to report
that I’ve recently been named as one of the
TOP 15 ARTISTS of 2005
by DJ
Tom Bingham at WCVF
88.9FM
in Fredonia, NY. Tom hosts a show called "General Eclectic". Here’s a
little of what Tom had to say:
"Pete Vash's music can conjure up musical images of the best of the
1960's if you let it -- the first great flowering of singer-songwriters,
the British Invasion, the early glory days of folk-rock and
country-rock, the blues revival, a touch of psychedelia. But nostalgia
this isn't. This is fresh, new music for a fresh new era, by a fresh,
new voice. But the standout track is an eight-minute, multi-sectioned,
techno and hard rock inspired topical song (sampling Dubya himself)
which lets you know that Pete Vash isn't afraid to take risks."
