BRIGHTSTAR PRESENTS

> Guru Ganesha Band Live in Concert featuring Hans Christian, Michelle Hurtado, Daniel Paul | SOU Recital Hall - MARCH 31st & APRIL 1st (7pm)

Join GuruGanesha and his eclectic seven piece band - Hans Christian, Michelle Hurtado, Daniel Paul, Sat Kartar Singh, Gurusangat & Sat Kartar (Russel Green) - for a magical evening of joyful chanting, mystical world music and hilarious stories from the spiritual path! Light show by Bliss Lights. Attend both Ashland concerts and you won't hear the same song twice! Each concert will also feature a special 15 minute opening performance by Hans Christian, starting promptly at 7:00pm.

GuruGanesha is a guitarist of exceptional grace and expressiveness, a singer, songwriter, producer and entrepreneur who has been a leading figure in establishing world sacred music as one of the fastest-rising and creatively fertile genres on the current scene. Having worked with renowned vocalists like Snatam Kaur, Seal and Tina Malia, GuruGanesha is now stepping into the limelight with his own project. Simply named 'The GuruGanesha Band,' it is a true labor of love for the gifted musician, not to mention the fulfillment of Yogi Bhajan’s promise all those years ago.

“This is a project that I’ve had in my heart for many years,” says GuruGanesha. “Upon turning 60 recently, it became clear to me that this was the perfect time to launch it. The idea behind The GuruGanesha Band is to bring to the world sacred genre a true guitar band sound reminiscent of the great guitar bands of yesteryear, but with lyrics totally focused on our better angels...i.e., our Divine nature! All the spiritual and musical work I’ve done for the past 39 years has been preparing me for this.”   

GuruGanesha describes the TGGB sound as “a unique blend of raga, kirtan and rock. I will primarily be playing electric guitar and I’m hand-picking the musicians not only for their musical virtuosity but also for their ability to channel the spiritual energy that the band will be serving. The vocals will be a group effort with plenty of rich two and three part harmonies. The audience will be encouraged to fully participate, whether it be singing along, dancing or just meditating deeply on the music.”
