for An Evening of Kirtan with Dave Stringer and Special Guest Joni Allen
Also Featuring Sitara & Kalyani with Pavan Kumar and Kirtan Path
Dave Stringer has been widely profiled in publications all over the world as one of the most innovative artists of the new Kirtan movement. Stringer’s sound marries the transcendent mysticism of traditional Indian instruments with the exuberant, groove-oriented sensibility of American gospel.
An articulate and engaging public speaker, Stringer probes the dilemmas of the spirit with a wry and unorthodox sense of humor. His work intends to create a modern and participatory theatrical experience out of the ancient traditions of kirtan and yoga, open to a multiplicity of interpretations, and accessible to all.
“A volcano of a voice! Stringer transported us to another time and place. His fiery, soulful voice gave the entire room a feeling of a down-home gospel jam and one could not help but sing along.”
– LA Yoga Magazine
This event is a Pre-Bhakti Fest Concert. Bhakti Fest is coming to the Midwest for the first time this summer. Dave Stringer joins other kirtan greats as a headliner of an amazing weekend festival.
