Greetings all! I just wanted to make a quick post to remind everyone that I’m singing Kirtan at Shanti Om Yoga in Staunton VA tonight to celebrate Diwali. At 6pm, there will be a catered meal from Taste of India, followed by Lakshmi Puja at 7. Kirtan starts at 7:30pm.

This will also be the first appearance of the latest Basement Bhakti, Matthew Hunsinger on tablas.

I hope to see you there!

Hari Om Bhaktis!

I am thrilled to announce that next month I’ll be returning to Florida to sing kirtan at Fish Tree Yoga in Pensacola, Florida, to help celebrate the one year anniversary of Fish Tree’s opening.

There’s a retreat planned that starts Friday October 22nd, and continues through the entire weekend. Kirtan is on October 23rd at 7:30, for $25, which includes food and beverages.

For more info, check out Fish Tree Yoga’s website, as well as the Facebook Event Page they’ve created for the weekend.

Hi Everyone!

I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be taking part in the Interfaith Cooperation Circle of Central Virginia’s World Peace Day celebration. This event will be at Unity Church in Charlottesville, Virginia. For more information, and a list of other performers, check out this link: http://interfaithcooperation.org/events/

Hi everyone- I wanted to put the word out that this Friday, August the 13th, I am doing a special gig at The Haven, a homeless center/shelter in Charlottesville, Va. I am one of many performers signed up for this, an open-mic style event, with a suggested donation of $5. All proceeds are going to support The Haven.

This isn’t going to be a kirtan/basement bhakti gig. Anyone familiar with my other projects, In Tenebris, IDIL, Oh So… this isn’t going to be like that either. I’m going to be treading into territory that I don’t often get into… haven’t in about 10 years. It’s going to be special and I’m not sure when I’ll do anything like this again.

I hope to see you all there!

Hari Om Everyone!

I’m quite happy to say we’re going to be at Shanti Om Yoga in Staunton Virginia again this Saturday, July 31st. Things get started at 7pm!

I’m also in the process of putting together a South-East tour for this December. I’ve got 2 dates already confirmed, but am not getting a lot of response out of most states. If you are in the South-East area and want to help out, contact tour@jdavydwilliams.com!

Om Shanthi,
