Dave Stringer has integrated his interest in Kirtan, an Indian tradition of devotional chanting, with his masterful grasp of Western popular music, creating an exciting style of psychedelic pop as informed by traditional Eastern music as the Beatles.

Listener reviewCD Baby

Amazing!!! His voice is just incredible. I'm practically addicted to this CD. I find myself taking time out to dance to it in my office during my work day.

Listener reviewCD Baby

Ecstasy on a Disc. For me Dave Stringer has become the barometer by which all other devotional music is measured. These songs energize me spiritually. Time passes without notice when I listen to Japa. I find myself looking for more housework to do or wishing my drive was longer so I could keep listening.
