Their music has been sold in Whole Foods stores nationwide. The band appears on Putumayo World Music’s recently released compilation Yoga and is signed to Nettwerk/Nutone Records, home of Sarah McLaughin, Barenaked Ladies, Krishna Das, and Jai Uttal. They headline festivals and conferences worldwide and are the first kirtan band to ever play The New Orleans Jazz Festival.
