As a live performer he has performed at such shows as The Gathering Concert Series in Philadelphia, Cyberstock of Los Angeles, Ecstatic Dance, 5 Rhythms Dance, Soul Motion, Northern California Dance Collective, and many other venues around the world. With computers, samplers, vocals, and synthesizers, Hennegan’s instinctive hand creates techno-trance and ambient music in a wildly fun, uplifting spiritual experience that will take your soul on a journey to the center of ecstasy.

"A unique warmth emanates from Hennegan's music moving the listener to a state of euphoria. Through complex and insistent rhythms and vocals, Hennegan accomplishes a lush dynamic that relentlessly strives to entertain.” (Matt Howarth, Sonic Curiousity.com)

Hennegan’s music is complemented by the guest artists he works with such as Surface Ten’s synthesist extraordinaire, Dean De Benedictis; and Becca Fuchs, whose incredible vocal range spans from operatic to soulful and sexy. His music is streamed on radio shows such as Pandora, Spotify, Alien Air Music, Star's End, Echoes, Apple Music, Hearts of Space, and much much more!

And the 2014 release, Transmissions: Echoes Living Room Concerts V19, featuring the song "Desert Vortex." The host of "Echoes," John Diliberto, personally invited Vic Hennegan to participate in all of the Echoes compilations and has placed Hennegan's 2011 release "Field of Worlds and Mirrors," as one of the top 25 albums of the year.

Vic Hennegan is excited to be working with his top favorite synthesizer companies: U-he, Tal- Tugo Audio, Rob Papen, Synapse Audio, AudioRealism, and Novation.

Live Music with Magpie

Saturday, May 21 | 8 pm - 10 pm ~ Magpie
Cost: $10 for the event

The Magpie bird is considered a link to the other worldly, primal realm of spirits, senses, and symbolism. This Magpie, the band, does something very similar. Their lyrical encoding speaks of grander ways hidden in simplicity which sedates us into a connectedness and assurance to the ear.

Magpie has been touring all over the United States with its dynamic blend of folk rock since 2010. Whether it’s the soulful intimate acoustic performances of lead man Zach Dunn, or the full-on electrified ensemble; Magpie, the man or the band, is one of those rare musical forces that wants to be experienced.

Why Cacao?

Cacao “Food of the Gods” is chocolate as nature created it.

Cacao has been used ceremonially for thousands of years by indigenous peoples of Central and South America. A sacred gift from Earth Cacao opens the heart and unifies the energy field of the group. While creating a mild euphoric effect, Cacao also sharpens the mind keeping you alert and aware during mindful practice and sound meditation. Daniel sources his cacao directly from Mayan wisdom keepers and has received there blessing to share it with you! This is a 5000 year old strain of cacao!!

What is “Lucid Meditation”

Hansen has been developing the Lucid Meditation over 100 sound journeys. He has worked with renowned meditation instructors, Mayan Wisdom keepers, and Yoga Nidra facilitators. This meditation is designed to work with the breath and create relaxation in the body, peace in the soul, a deeper connection to sound, and positive visualization in the mind.

What are lucid dreaming herbs?

Mugwort will be offered in a tincture. This powerful herb has the ability to make dreams longer, clearer, more vivid and pronounced. When combined with the “Lucid Meditation” participants may have an increased visual experience. Enhanced dreams the night of the event is also a possibility.

Testimonials:
Daniel's Sound Journey made me feel as though I was gifted 2 hours of clarity. I was gifted a glimpse into my divine purpose here on earth. I saw – but more importantly – I felt the essence of my ultimate existence unfolding. In those moments while I was lucid, I felt so purely contented, connected, and joyful that I started to cry. I saw myself in the company of loved ones – we were all supporting one another – and we all loved ourselves and our community so purely and deeply. The giving and receiving between us flowed forth abundantly. Nobody sat with scarcity or loneliness as we fluidly exchanged love in all of its many forms. Lack was no more as fear was no longer necessary for survival. We were all with acceptance, at peace, and happy. Everyone was living for the same reason: to be happy, healthy, connected, and free to express ourselves without fear of judgment. -Mia Tempe AZ

I attended this sound journey once before at OneDoorLand. It was worth it alone to witness the singular sonic wonder of RootFlute - this one man holy band, with his flute inventions and his gong and cymbal rack and his full body orchestration. In a small but very real and true way, you just haven't lived yet if you haven't experienced his sacred performance art. Those of us down to imbibe cacao drank our cacao, we laid down on our mats, closed our eyes, and were transported straight to the crystal castles of the imaginal realms, straight to Oz. It was highly psychoactive, in the best way, in the beauty way, in the golden waterfall of abundance at the center of all things way. I will definitely be attending again, wouldn't miss it. -Mindy, Portland

"Imagine receiving the gift of a journey, but not just any journey… a journey through sound, through the forest of your soul immersed in Daniel Hansen’s spiritually crafted soundscape and adrift upon a sea of essential oil scented air while floating on spreading warmth of freshly brewed Cacao… an immersive and mystical experience like this in the company of beautiful and divine friends is more than a gift, it is a moment in time where the otherworldly essence of the spirit is free to wander down paths of light and tone guided through the landscape of dreams and imagination by a Master Sound Story Teller." - Vagabond Ink

"Thank you Dan Hansen and for an amazing healing sound journey last night!!! It was truly the peace and centering I have been needing! I hope to never miss another! So tremendously wonderful! If you have not experienced this magic, you haven't fully lived. Seriously such a profound experience. Can't wait for the next one!" - Lacy

"So much love to Daniel Hansen for the aaaahhh-mazing Rootflute Sound Journey last night! I am just blown away by the musical mastery, the effortless clearing and the beauty these two created! I can't wait to do it again! (and to one day have a flute of my own!) If you didn't come out, you missed out big time...make sure to come to the next one!" - Nina

"Not knowing what to expect I entered the space at La Paz and got comfortable. What followed was out of myself and out of this world. Starting with a full dose of cacao, I got comfortable and followed the guided meditation to a state of relaxation and openness. The sound delivered by Mr. Root Flute, from his self-made, multi-instrumented station, was phenomenal. It filled my being and carried me off and away. The skill of Daniel's performance is phenomenal. I started to see things; the rising music lifted me through jungles up to mountains, in moments of repreive I could fly above it all. Visuals kept coming and I began to see a small version of myself, sat and made of light in the distance. As the music progressed so too did visions until the figure got so close it overlapped my being. I became it and could see myself sat. An outer body experience. Such was the power of the cacao and the music. I layed back and drifted on that dreamy edge between sleep and wakefulness. Sitting back up I felt unblocked. Tears came out. An excellent experience that took me by surprise and left me feeling positive and uplifted.
Strongly recommended!"

-Stuart Clayton

DIY Music Touring Van Life Workshop/Live Music - Acoustic Performance by When Particles Collide

Saturday November 10th - DIY Touring Workshop at 5pm - Acoustic Show at 6:30pm

This workshop/performance is for anyone who is interested in the possibility of DIY (Do It Yourself) Touring. Although we hope that many high school aged folks will attend, the information and activities are for people of all ages.
During the workshop we will explore the differences between Fame and Family, the ephemeral promise of the ultimate American Dream: for everyone to know who you are and love you/your art and what you can actually experience as a traveling artist: a concrete connection with people in a real space and in real time that often nurtures the soul in unexpected ways. In other words, DIY Touring can help artists decrease their FOMO and increase their sense of purpose and connection to the world.
We will also talk about the actual nuts and bolts of booking and playing a show out of town. Where do you start? What do you need? How should you behave at the show? By the end of the workshop we hope that participants will have a sense of what DIY Touring can be both emotionally and career-wise and also know how to start booking and playing their first out of town gigs. - This is a FREE EVENT - Donations appreciated to support our Artists.

There will be a 40/50 minute acoustic performance to follow the workshop by When Particles Collide

More info on the Workshop presenter:
Sasha G. Alcott grew up in Bangor Maine, studied Chemistry at Cornell University, and fell in love with rock ‘n roll during the riot grrrl movement of the early/mid 90’s. Sasha taught high school chemistry and played in bands from 1995-2016. In the summer of 2016 she and her husband Chris Viner, bought a van, left their jobs and have been DIY Touring the US and Canada under the name When Particles Collide ever since. They rack up over 200 shows per year and are continuously humbled by the grace and generosity of people they meet along the way.

n. The act by which one hopes or attempts to bring about the renewal of energy or commitment; the bid to prompt the rebirth of the gusto.

We are a musical project powered by the brains and hearts and hands and feet of we, and really, of you, too. With Michael Virga on guitar and lead vocals, Evan Sanchez on drums and cajon, Isaiah Kortright on bass and everything else, Rose Dragoo on viola and vocals, and Jesse Reist on banjo and cello, TSWE brings us together from far-flung locales and a wide variety of musical backgrounds to become a whole that is greater than the sum of it’s parts. For now, we are primarily founded on some amalgamation of folk, blues, old-time, funk, r&b,   and rock and roll. But that’s always evolving. Gotta be room to grow. Stay tuned. Imagination will save the world.

All ages welcome. Bring your family & friends.

Join us for a sweet evening of singing divine names and prayers. Kirtan is a call and response style of singing based in the Bhakti yoga science.

No experience necessary. Come join the band!
Check out our website:
www.thebandofnow.com

Meet the band.
Prem Vidu - Vocals & Guitar
Blessed to be raised by musical parents, growing up on the sweet sounds of barbershop and dominant 7 chords, Prem Vidu was always interested in the intention behind the music. After gaining his BFA in Percussion Performance & Jazz Studies, life eventually led him to share his devotion through song and prayer. Guided to facilitate spirit-medicine journeys, he combines 10 years of leading ceremony with an 8 year practice of chanting. With a lifetime of musical experience, he now offers Kirtan, inviting all to share their voices together in devotion. He currently composes for, directs and leads The Band of Now, blending Sanskrit mantra and English lyrics, creating a sacred space for healing, peace and joy to cultivate.

Cassandra Bright - Vocals, Percussion & Harmonium
Cassandra began her yoga journey in 1998. Overwhelmed with life at the time...synchronistically, yoga arrived. Her first yoga experience (an Ashtanga Vinyasa class) kicked her butt, yet she wept with gratitude -- she’d found her way Home. Yoga instantly meant more than movement or exercise; it meant reconnecting with Self, with that part that was quietly awaiting her return. Drawing her deeper into yoga, and to yoga teaching training, she completed her first 200 hr YTT in Scottsdale in 1999, then journeyed to mother India in 2007 to experience Nithya Yoga, where she became Ordained as a Yogacharya and Ananda Spiritual Healer. Her study of Self and Yoga continue, recently completing an advanced training in Yoga & Ayurveda.The opening of her center, Gilbert Yoga in 2003, has allowed her and many others to share the gifts of yoga with thousands, and to initiate others into teaching as well.
Beginning with an asana based practice, she now finds her heart immersed in Bhakti Yoga, singing with her partner Prem Vidu in their band, The Band of Now. Together they hold space for heartfelt, soul-stirring yoga-medicine to flow.

Joined by Kelly Love - Vocals & Harmonium
Kelly Love is a beloved and highly valued kirtan response singer and has toured and played with kirtan artists near and far such as Girish, Larisa Stow & Johanna Beekman. She has been on stages of the biggest yoga and kirtan festivals, BhaktiFest and ShaktiFest, as well as many others. Kelly plays harmonium and adds her unique harmony vocals complementing her lead. When Kelly is not traveling the kirtan road, she shares her healing light through Thai Yoga Massage and Reiki.
