Snatam Kaur reaches thousands of people on the Celebrate Peace tour, which is sponsored by Peace Cereal. Her music was heavily influenced by time spent with kirtan master Bhai Hari Singh as well as her father, a manager of The Grateful Dead, who greatly encouraged her musical career and helped her get in front of audiences at an early age. In fact, she performed in front of 70,000 at Earth Day 1990 in San Francisco immediately following Bob Weir.
Snatam Kaur, introduced to music and spiritual practice at an early age, was schooled in kirtan and studied from the accomplished ragi (master of Sikh-style kirtan) Bhai Hari Singh in Amritsar, India. She also studied Gurmukhi, the Sanskrit-based language of Sikh scriptures from Northern India, as well as received a Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Certification. These studies have allowed Snatam Kaur to cultivate the devotion and skills that have helped her develop and blossom into a compelling, profound talent.
Snatam just recently released her fifth solo album, Anand, which follows in the footsteps of New Age Radio and New Age Reporter's chart topping album, Grace.
Snatam presently tours the world on the Celebrate Peace Tour, where she performs her music to sold out audiences as well as teaches Naad Yoga Workshops. She inspires her audience with her innocence, her sincere love and dedication to peace.
On the Celebrate Peace Tour, Snatam Kaur also visits juvenile detention centers across the country, bringing yoga, music and meditation in partnership with Yoga for Youth, a non-profit organization working with at-risk youth. She also brings her message of peace to schools, hospices, and other institutions. Snatam Kaur is an Ambassador for Peace on behalf of Peace Cereal and presents local peace promoting non-profit organizations with grants.
The Celebrate Peace concerts feature eastern inspired chant music with Snatam Kaur as the lead vocalist accompanied by unforgettable guitar playing by Guru Ganesha Singh and Krishan Khalsa's hip tabla rhythms. In her Celebrate Peace concerts, Snatam Kaur delivers a heart opening performance that combines musical traditions of East and West. Her enchanting voice brings you an experience of peace and deep devotion.
