Meet the Heart String Kirtan Band!

In September of 2021 Susan moved to Grand Junction and through a kirtan friend met Jack Byrom. Both started chanting weekly with the very harmonium that their mutual friend had played for decades!

Laurie joined in May 2022 with voice and cello. The trio started chanting 90 minute sequences with the generous invitation from Grand Valley Yoga Fest and Zen Den Yoga.

During May 2023 Kendra brought her djembe drum and all have enjoyed the beat she brings. HeartString Kirtan has supported community events at Bhakti house with love and appreciation.
