Joyful Chant, Soaring Musicianship

What happens when two inspiring, award-winning singer songwriters and multi-instrumentalists join together to share their love of chanting from diverse traditions? The answer is the joyful, heart-opening duo Bhakti Heart, a collaboration between:

Laura Kemp: A long-time student of yoga, meditation, Sanskrit, and Vedanta, Laura has been using her voice to channel the divine for most of her life. Captivating Northwest audiences for over three decades, her musical interests span everything from folk to bluegrass to jazz to kirtan. She is a well-loved performing singer-songwriter, recording artist, and guitar instructor in addition to being a 300-hour certified yoga instructor. Her most recent project is leading Bhakti Nidra classes, which combine the elements of sound and music with the transformational process of Yoga Nidra.
Len Seligman: “Len's songs are chock full of life, goodness, fun and depth. His bright, warm heart is a real transmission…the love just flows.” - Tara Brach, Ph.D., best-selling author and meditation teacher. Len’s last album was #4 on the Folk Alliance International chart, and he has won numerous international awards including the West Coast, UK, Dallas, Positive Music, and Great American songwriting contests. Len is a long-time chant leader and student of Buddhism and Sufism.

Laura and Len’s voices blend beautifully, and their joy in creating music together is obvious and infectious. Both are highly accomplished musicians on several instruments, including guitar, harmonium, octave mandolin, and hand pan.

Our Invitation: Please join us for a joyous, uplifting gathering, chanting sacred sounds from many traditions. All are welcome, regardless of musical experience or spiritual background. We look forward to singing with you!
