About Seán Johnson & The Wild Lotus Band: ”The music of Seán Johnson & The Wild Lotus Band flows from the mystical confluence of the Ganges River and the Mississippi Delta—the deep bhakti tradition of Indian devotional chanting fused with the polyglot cultural cross-currents that so enrich the music of the group’s hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. The much-beloved band evoke, conjure and celebrate that universally felt yet impossible-to-define essence that lies at the heart of all things, what Bob Marley once called 'a natural mystic, flowing through the air.' The result is music of majestic musical and emotional range—a heart journey from darkness to light, wrought from the homespun cloth of gospel, blues, soul, country, rock, Celtic folk and other vernacular musical influences, all filtered through the magical Afro-Caribbean-inflected rhythmic flair of the Crescent City.” – Alan di Perna (Rolling Stone, Creem, Billboard) "A joy to listen to for anyone who appreciates wildly creative music." - Yoga Journal "A hybrid of East and West that will bring joy to your heart and get your body boogieing. - Yoga Chicago Celebrate the spirit of unity with a night of interactive, soul-stirring music from Seán Johnson & The Wild Lotus Band.
