Dear Friends!

I’m so happy to announce the release of Mantra Brothers’ debut album Invoke. Mantra Brothers is the band my brother Jeremy and I created as a vessel for our love of mantras and music. We are beyond overjoyed to share it with you all. It's truly a labor of Love and we hope you will feel that Love in the sound.

The album is available for sale on our new website www.mantrabrothers.com which we hope you'll visit. There, you can read about our stories and inspirations, and buy the CD or digital version. Mantra Brothers Invoke is also on iTunes and you can stream it on Spotify.

Jeremy and I worked hard on the album for over two years, writing and collaborating with each other as well as with some amazing New York musicians- like his daughter, Elona Hoffeld, as well as Monica Behan and Niki Morisette on vocals, Linda May Oh (Fabian Almazan, Pat Metheny, et al) on bass, and other great string playing buddies creating a big orchestral layer. The resulting sound is rich and textured, while deeply devotional.

If you're a facebook person, our Mantra Brothers Page is a very active one, which you can Like and follow along. Its a great way to keep in touch.

As always, I deeply appreciate your love and support. Our goal is to spread love and healing through sound, and you are helping to make that happen. Thank you for taking the time with us!

In love and gratitude,

Noah

I’m so excited to announce the upcoming release of Mantra Brothers’ debut album INVOKE on August 15th! Mantra Brothers is the band my brother Jeremy and I created as a vessel for our love of mantras and music. We can’t wait to share it with you all! We grew up playing music each in our own field- he in Jazz and me in Classical. But as time moved on, our mutual love of improvising gradually brought our sounds together. Later, we both got deeply involved in yoga, meditation and chant. Jeremy started writing some chants of his own which were really great and we got inspired to record an album of his and my own songs, all settings of mantras. The resulting recordings involve some of New York’s great musicians, along with Jeremy’s gorgeous horn playing and voice, his daughter’s beautiful vocals, and my vocals and cello, all atop a base of African and Indian percussion. I’ll keep you up to date as the release approaches! Thanks for all your love and support. 🌹🙏🏻❤️ Beautiful photo by DJ Pierce

A really great article about my teacher Ram Dass in this month’s holiday edition of GQ Magazine. Ram Dass was a cellist himself before a stroke left him partially paralyzed. RD has taught me how to love myself and, in the process, pointed me in the direction of loving everyone. I’m eternally grateful for everything he’s ever given me. Learn all about his quirky sense of humor and penetrating awareness, his generosity and amazingly inspirational renegade spirit, here. if you’d like, let me know what you think in the comments below!
