With Special Guests
WAH!
Friday, August 7th - 8:00 pm
Wah! combines reggae, Hindu chanting and pop to create a unique mix of spiritual world music. Concerts include chanting, storytelling and songs in English; the atmosphere is festive and jubliant. The Saratoga Post describes Wah! as “hypnotic, mesmerizing and energizing - just a few adjectives that could be used to describe a recent performance by Wah! The success stems from Wah!’s extraordinary voice, which ight be characterized as Jewel meets Sade. Visit http://wahmusic.com/ for more information.
Wah! will also be leading yoga and workshops on Saturday Aug 8
Chanting begins with an invocation - a prayer, a group Om, or some small line of remembrance that connects everyone to a higher source. WAH! invokes a blessing from the Divine Mother. Once the energy is started, the practice consists of call-and-response chanting - the chantleader sings a line and the audience sings it back. The tempos build and fade according to the divine mood, or bhav. The music is a support, a vehicle to attaining the divine mood of the group. Wah! shares her music, spirit and stories on the spiritual path in this special workshop.

David Darling
Saturday August 8th - 1:00 pm
Described as a “maverick cellist” by his grass-roots music expression organization, Music for People, David Darling’s music has mixed genres–including jazz, pop, rock, country, and New Age–with intellectual curiosity, playful innovation, experimentation, and creative improvisation. His evocative, breakthrough compositions for cello have earned him international respect from experimental and jazz musicians, and teachers revere him for his delightful, transformative workshops in musical expression.

Keith was born in Buffalo and grew up in Rochester, New York. His formative musical years, however, were spent in Texas, where he played guitar, keyboards, sang and wrote songs for Calico, the multi award-winning progressive country band he co-created. Calico recorded two albums in Nashville with United Artist Records. Returning to Rochester in the early 1990s, Keith played acoustic guitar with Josie Waverly and the Chasen Powell Band, and was part of the popular acoustic trio, Triple Play.
