When Damion Suomi (Sue-me) stands before you on stage you will find yourself wondering where exactly you heard the songs before that night, there is just something familiar about them; like they have always been inside you, but you never heard them actually sung before.
With the release of his first album, Damion Suomi Self Titled, under his belt, Damion is back with a powerful band and an even more powerful sound.
Now Damion Suomi & The Minor Prophets, Damion has joined up with some of his closest and most talented friends to create heart pounding and foot stomping melodies that have won audiences over.
The band came together in October of 2009, obtaining tour dates with Joey Cape (Lagwagon), Lauris Vidal and Andy Zipf. and continue to tour together, just finishing up a successful nationwide tour with The Builders & The Butchers and Murder By Death.
With the release of Go, And Sell All of Your Things, a folk rock album filled with harmonizing and often gang vocals, intense guitars, hard drum beats and layers of banjo, mandolin, trumpet, piano and lap steel, Go, And Sell All of Your Things from Damion Suomi & The Minor Prophets will have you getting lost in its songs. Lyrically, Go, and Sell All of Your Things tells the tale of the Hero’s Journey, A poetic parallel of the universal struggle, and the transformation that results, when one chooses to let go and embrace the life that has been inside of them all along. As the story begins to unfold before the listener, the role that the instrumentation plays on the record emerges purposefully as a musical score, accompanying the hero along the way. Yet with all of the depth and metaphor found on Go, and Sell All of Your Things, Damion Suomi and The Minor Prophets have crafted a record that remains wonderfully accessible, inviting the listener to become a part of the story right from the start.
