Event Description:
David Newman is a sacred singer songwriter and mantra musician who travels extensively sharing his unique blend of folk, chant and mystical music. Rooted in the ancient tradition of sound as healing, David's music embodies a devotional mysticism, distinctive musicality, and poetic intimacy. His concerts evoke deep peace and are joyous, uplifting and at times exploding with energy.
"David is reminiscent of George Harrison, Dylan and Paul Simon when they are in soul mode."
- Michael Mollura, LA Yoga Magazine
"Though David has a deep sense of tradition in his music, there is also something thoughtful, poetic, personal, and almost romantic about his songs."
- Yoga Journal Blog
"David Newman is the Cat Stevens of Kirtan."
- Dr. Marc Halpern, Founder of California College of Ayurveda
His recordings incorporate a wide range of musical and lyrical elements and explore a vast palette of stylistic influences from around the world. David's CDs include: Lotus Feet, Soul Freedom, Leap of Grace, Into the Bliss, Love Peace Chant, To Be Home, Stars, and ReBliss.
David tours throughout the world and has been featured on NPR, in The Washington Post and Yoga Journal, among others.
