Heart-centered yogis who love contemporary folk & Americana music have been flocking to Katie Wise & Bhakti Explosion’s live kirtans across the US and at the biggest sacred music and folk festivals in the world:
Bhakti Fest, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, Hanuman Festival, Holistic Manchester, Arise, Festival of Colors, Mammoth Yoga Festival, Shakti Fest, Bhakti Love Reunion, Lovelight, Relaxspansion, and Stonehenge Music Festival.
Based in Boulder, CO, USA, this mantra-infused powerhouse band pulses with rootsy world soul, and features layered harmonies that soar over emotionally crafted songs reminiscent of Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette. Bhakti Explosion includes Katie Wise on guitar and keyboards, John Hoelle on bass and vocals (Pro Audio), drummer JJ Jones (Girlyman), and lead guitarist Yoshi Aono (Acoustic Junction).
Katie’s debut album, Lovolution, produced by Grammy-nominee Ben Leinbach, with guest vocals by Jai Uttal, received critical acclaim in the US (Yoga Journal, Yoga International), the UK (Kindred Spirit, Yoga Magazine) and Australia (Soul Traveller Radio, Australian Yoga Life), and was praised by Grammy-nominated kirtan musician and producer Dave Stringer as combining “beautifully nuanced country and Americana influences, inflected with just the right amount of Eastern mysticism.”
Bhakti Explosion has additionally released two live albums: Live at the Starhouse (2019), and Live at eTown (2021), and a second studio album, Akashic Rock, was released in 2023 on the conscious-music label White Swan Records.
Katie and the band have toured and recorded with sacred mantra artist David Newman who calls her “a force and presence for those who look to their music for peace, heart, groove, and spiritual inspiration.” Australian Yoga Life magazine writes: “Wise’s soulful, earthy voice embodies vulnerability in a way that turns emotion into art.“
Katie has shared the stage with leading chant artists: Donna DeLory, Deva Premal and Miten, David Newman, Girish, Brenda McMorrow, Wah, and Sean Johnson, among many others.
Bhakti Explosion is pioneering their own genre of spiritual music: mantra-folk. They believe it has the power to heal and inspire the world. More at BhaktiExplosion.com.
