Seán Johnson & The Wild Lotus Band (Alvin Young, Narada Wise, Chris Rosser, and Shannon Reilley) merge conscious lyrics, sacred chants from the spiritual traditions of yoga and beyond, and New Orleans roots, rock, gospel, and global grooves to create a universal style of cross-cultural spiritual music. They are known for creating interactive, soul-stirring songs to dance and sing along with as well as to grieve and heal. Their music has appeared on several Putumayo World Music albums, and they are the first mantra music band to play The New Orleans Jazz Festival. Their latest album Mystery was named one of the best albums in Louisiana music by Offbeat Magazine.

Seán is also a respected yoga teacher and community leader who teaches at festivals and conferences around the U.S,. He is the director of The Asheville Yoga Center and curator of AYC’s “Teaching From The Heart” 200 Hour Teacher Training and “Kindling The Flame” 300 Hour Program.r-yoga series, and co-facilitates Celtic Spirituality retreats in Ireland each year.

“The much-beloved band evoke, conjure and celebrate that universally felt yet impossible-to-define essence that lies at the heart of all things, what Bob Marley once called “a natural mystic, flowing through the air.” — Alan DiPerna (Rolling Stone)
