Our debut album Heart Centered Kirtan is a tribute to the memory of Jeff Martell and the music that he and kirtan collaborator Libby Volckening made together before Jeff's untimely death in January 2016. The 10 original compositions weave Sanskrit mantras, hymns and aphorisms from ancient India with Jeff and Libby's own blend of rock, folk, blues, and reggae. . Featuring Jeff Martell (vox, guitar, harmonica), Libby Volckening (vox, harmonium), Daniel Broad (bass), Garrett Sawyer (bass, vox, tambourine), Dave Noonan (drum set), Darby Wolf (piano, organ), and Russ Nieman (percussion) with Charlie Shew (percussion), Brian DiMartino (electric guitar), Jeremy Starpoli (trombone), Kalidasa Joseph Getter (South Indian wood flute), Carrie Grossman (vocals), and Ed Ritz, Susan Murphy, Justin Green, Julia Ellingboe, and Michele Derouin (response choir). .
