Kirtan with Bhakti Heart, 11/14

by

What happens when two inspiring, award-winning singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists join together to share their love of devotional music? The answer is the uplifting, joy-inducing duo Bhakti Heart, a collaboration between Laura Kemp and Len Seligman. Leading original and traditional sacred songs from diverse traditions, their gatherings are a heart-opening and moving experience. Their voices blend with rich harmonies, and their joy in creating music together is obvious and infectious. Both are highly accomplished musicians on several instruments, including guitar, harmonium, octave mandolin, and hand pan.

Please join us for a joyous, uplifting gathering, singing and chanting sacred songs and sounds from diverse traditions. All are welcome, regardless of musical experience or spiritual background. We look forward to singing with you!
