Krishna Das

Sue McLean & Associates present Krishna Das, the Samsara By Bus Tour at the Fitzgerald Theater on Wednesday, June 22nd at 7:30 p.m. Krishna Das, one of the best-selling chant artists of all time, returns to the road following his hugely successful, sold out 2010 tour with Deva Premal. Krishna Das has been called the "Chant Master of American Yoga" by The New York Times and "Pavarotti of Kirtan" by Yoga Journal and is notable for making yoga and chant music more accessible to Western listeners. His music layers traditional kirtan – chanting of the divine names – over popular arrangements and songs. In 2010, Krishna Das released his latest album Heart As Wide As The World to critical acclaim. His first studio album in more than 10 years, the album is collaboration with David Nichtern, who produced and played guitar. It also features musicians Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel, Hall & Oates) on drums/percussion, world musicians Steve Gorn on bansuri flute and Benjy Wertheimer on esraj.
