The Sword and The Spirit

The Sword and The Spirit is a labour of Love for its Members Tony DeLorenzo, Eric Lea, Richard Ferreira, Greg Block and Claire Fung and Ryan Abramowitz.Tony, Eric and Richard - lifelong friends - started the band as a way to reach out to children in the foster care system. These are often the forgotten children in society. Many have been abused and neglected and abandoned by their biological families. They enter a system that makes them strangers in the places where they live, moving multiple times in short periods, never being able to create a permanent connection with their caregivers.Eventually they are "aged out" or Emancipated from "the system".Our music relates to the pain and sense of abandonment and gives air to these feelings. Our goal is to be a voice for children in the system and to encourage society to not forget these children.They are all gifts from God.
