SUZANNE STERLING is an ecstatic vocalist and composer whose devotional music has been called a “groove-loving and seductive journey into Spirit.”
Suzanne offers a unique blend of yoga, music, and sacred ceremony to conferences and festivals worldwide.

DAVE STRINGER is an accomplished composer, multi-instrumentalist and singer, and has a special gift for bringing people together in ecstatic chant - his own version of “Kirtan”- devotional, group singing.
Since 2000, Dave and a diverse ensemble of accompanying musicians have toured North America and Europe, developing new venues for music, and expanding the audience for Kirtan. His sound marries the transcendent mysticism of traditional Indian instruments with the exuberant, groove-oriented sensibility of American gospel, and he is regarded as one of the most gifted singers in the genre. Dave’s work creates a modern and participatory theatrical experience out of the ancient traditions of Kirtan and yoga, open to a multiplicity of interpretations, and accessible to all.

“A musical priestess, Suzanne brilliantly weaves lyric, melody, sound and rhythm into a magical spell that entrances us to discover the sacred song within our own heart.”
- Seane Corn
“A volcano of a voice!… Stringer gave the room a feeling of a down-home gospel jam, and one couldn’t help but sing along.”
- L.A. Yoga Pages
“Stringer is an amazing, passionate performer. No, this isn’t just gentle, soothing new age music and shouldn’t be mistaken for it. It is there to engage the listener and speaks in an intuitive manner to the soul within.”
