On the Bhakti Trail - October '09

Namaste Everyone,

Mira and I just returned home from an absolutely adventurous and grace filled European tour. We had wonderful events in Italy, Austria, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and the UK.

We now roll into a really exciting October including the Vancouver Yoga Conference, an evening in Portland, Oregon, a Kirtan Festival at Yogaville in Virginia with Shantala and Shyam Das and our very first Japan Tour!!! On our way back from Japan, we’ll stop in Southern California for events in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara…

Upon arriving back on the east coast in November, we will record the next CD in Woodstock, NY - that is after we travel around the world first. We will be working with Trina Shoemaker, a gifted producer, engineer and mixer who has won several Grammys for her work with Sheryl Crow. We will be making music with some amazing musicians and will mix where Trina lives…in Nashville. Should be a blast!! Look for the new release in May, 2010!

Below, among our tour dates and details, we have included some youtube clips of recent appearances from the omega ecstatic chant weekend and our European tour! Last, my record label, Nutone, has just released a Kirtan compilation that will be available at Whole Foods Markets around the country; the specifics are below.

Well, that’s what’s new on the Bhakti Trail – never a dull moment. I hope all is rich and abundant in your life too.
That's it for the newsletter, send away!!!!

Always Love!!
David
