Adam Bauer

Adam Bauer is a singer, coach and facilitator who travels the world sharing kirtan, healing touch, the I Ching and transformational conversation. He leads kirtan and satsang with a warm baritone voice and harmonium, in a gentle, grounded style that centers on bhakti, the yoga of devotion.

For years Adam played bass with Krishna Das, and later with Shyamdas. He says both nourished his love of sacred sound and the yoga of devotion. He has released three albums of devotional music. Shyam Lila (2014, Mantralogy Records) is a personal tribute to Shyamdas. Wonderville (2017) is a collection of new chants and one cover, produced with Ben Leinbach. Return to the Sacred (2020) was recorded in India and the USA, with musicians from both countries. A newer album, Life + Death, follows these.

Beyond music, Adam offers workshops, programs and coaching, in person and online, for groups and one to one. His offerings include bhakti yoga, kirtan serenades with mantra, voice and harmonium, life coaching, and the I Ching. He was introduced to the I Ching at sixteen by his father and has studied it for decades, and he has taught it in workshops, private consultations and online courses. He also hosts a free weekly online satsang of songs, stories and devotion.

In his own words: "I consider music and singing to be among the most intimate ways we can share and express ourselves and connect with others," as he says in his press kit.
