The Rail Trail Café has become a home for many wonderful chanting events this summer. Chanting under the “cathedral of trees” has offered spiritual uplift and inspiration for many chant lovers. So many have come to sing, dance and pray in the open air responding to the devotional offerings of the Hudson Valley’s many gifted chant bands and kirtan leaders.

Now we are excited to announce a day of chanting. We will gather starting at 11am on Sunday, September 26th and chant together into the late afternoon. Starting with the Spirit Brothers (Ned, Joe, Robert, Ev & Steve), other chant leaders will include Rene Rhadarani, Arundhati & Prema, Ishwari, Seth Lieberman, Ned & Lynn and others to be announced later. Steve Gorn, Robert Bard, Ev Mann and other magical musicians will accompany the chanting throughout the day.

Please come for some or all of the chanting. As always, there will be food available through the café. We are very grateful to the founders of the Café, Tara and Brian, for sponsoring this event and to Steven and Robin Larson who host the Café on their land. Admission will be by donation with proceeds going to benefit the Café.
