Interfaith Music

The Awakeneers repertoire of original songs brings a fresh perspective to principles that are common to all spiritual and religious traditions. Through poetic and direct lyrics, evocative melodies, and supportive instrumentation, an Awakeneers concert aims to give a gift of inspiration, joy, and recognition that supports individuals' journey on the Way, whatever path they may be taking.

With seven or more musicians playing guitar, keyboard, percussion, violin, ukulele, banjo, cello, and bass, the Awakeneers create a powerful and unique musical experience.

Music for all faiths
