Artist Bios:

Ty Burhoe has been a disciple of the great tabla maestro, Ustad Zakir Hussain, since 1990. Ty is known for his sensitive accompaniment and melodious style. While his intense study of the classical tradition and his touring as a classical accompanist continues to grow, he is also internationally recognized for being instrumental in creating unusual collaborations that weave tabla with the traditions of Jazz, African, Flamenco, Rock, Celtic, Chinese, Bluegrass, and fusion. He has become well known not only for his talents as a tabla player, but also for his extensive experience as a recording and live concert producer. In 2004, he created the record label, Tala Records, and since 1994 has run a concert production company called Tala Productions. Ty works with a broad range of artists including Ustad Zakir Hussain, Art Lande, Krishna Das, Curandero (Miguel Espinoza), Ustad Sultan Khan, Bela Fleck, Kitaro, Rick Alan, Howard Levy, and many more. He is the tour assistant for his teacher Ustad Zakir Hussain, touring and helping produce concerts in North America and Canada. Ty also teaches drumming retreats and tabla intensives throughout the world and composes / plays on soundtracks for film and video, including the recent academy award winning documentary, "Born into Brothels".

Krishna Das first traveled to India in 1970 where he met his guru Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji.) Through Maharaji, he was introduced to the devotional practice of kirtan, an ancient method of heart purification. He has released several CDs and now leads chanting workshops around the world, helping seekers to turn within and find their own inner understanding. Sharing his heart through music and chanting is the basis of Krishna Das' own spiritual work: his way of serving the Divine within himself and others. His CDs have gained international attention (two of his recent recordings having been produced by the legendary Rick Rubin) and his tours consistently sell out venues worldwide. His simple and intimate style of call and response chanting invites those who come to feel involved in a much larger presence. www.krishnadas.com

A student of yoga since 1986, Amys study of hatha yoga, pranayama, yoga therapeutics, and yoga philosophy led her to become a certified Anusara Yoga teacher in 2000.
