Hi everyone, I’ve just added a “Press” page to the website for comments, both formal and informal, that I’ve received about my live and recorded kirtans. I’m always interested in hearing from you, so if you’d like to see something posted there, or if you know of a review that you want to see there, just get in touch!

Om shanthi,

Good news! I’ve just confirmed another tour date, this one for Tuesday June the 8th, at Ahimsa Yoga in Ithaca NY.

I’m still looking for help in DC, Maryland, Philidelphia and Pittsburgh. If you are in one of those areas or have tips, please feel free to email tour at jdavyd williams dot com.

Greetings everybody,
I am proud to say that I’m going to be leading some Kirtan at a local fundraiser for Haiti Relief. Check out Love For Haiti Dot Net for more info. There are a boatload of performers in store, including Bands, Belly Dancers, and Story Tellers; Artists have donated their time and their creations for a silent auction; food will also be available for an additional charge. All of the time that’s gone into this has been donated by a core of Charlottesville folks who are taking no money for their efforts – every last penny will be going to Charities related to the Haitian Earthquake disaster.

In a time like this, the scope of damage done and lives lost can feel completely overwhelming. You may think that, no matter what you do, it won’t help; it won’t even be a drop in the bucket. Every single dollar, every single penny that you donate, be it by coming to the event or by donating directly to a charity, will make a massive impact on the lives of the survivors. Beyond that, I firmly believe that by coming together to create a fellowship with others in the spirit of rebuilding, even for us who are so far away, will have an effect on the world over, and that positivity can be directed towards those who are still suffering and indeed have just a great an impact as monetary donation.

The event is at Random Row Books and starts at 5pm. Come out early and be prepared to stay late!

It’s been a roller coaster couple of weeks leading up towards the holidays. I spent last weekend at a Sufi retreat in DC, and the Baraka Center ended up hosting me for a last minute Kirtan on Saturday night.

This Saturday you will find me in Yogaville at 7:30pm to sing kirtan for 30 minutes before their weekly satsang. I’m also prepping for the Kirtan at Fish Tree Yoga on the 18th in Pensacola, Florida.

Here’s a flier for the upcoming Tea Bazaar gig on Monday December 28th. I’m really stoked about this gig because one of my oldest musical friends has agreed to open up the show with his blues band. It should be a really fun night, and we’ll definitely make coming out on a Monday worth it for you!

Hey Florida!
I’m going to be in Pensacola for a week in December, and would love to share some Kirtan while I’m there. If you have any ideas on venues, yoga centers, or interested parties to contact, send me an email.

Om shanthi,
Jdavyd
