Shakti Fusion, a high-energy chanting and dancing band, blends ancient Sanskrit mantras with elements of contemporary jazz, rock, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Founded in 1993 by Todd Norian, the name of our band communicates the essence of what we are about and why we do what we do. We enjoy creating and performing music that awakens and moves "Shakti", Sanskrit for the loving evolutionary force that is the source of all and is often personified as the Divine Mother. We love to create a resonating field of high energy in which the music, the musicians, and the audience merge into one ecstatic experience. Our music is inspired by the celebration of life and the playful awakening of our hearts to the Divine within.

If you would like to host Shakti Fusion at your studio or event, call 413-232-7839  or email us.

The players in the band are Thomas Amelio-lead vocals, Mitch Hinard-drum set, Todd Norian-keyboards, Steph Campbell-back up vocals, Matt McKeever-bass, Mike McAvoy-guitar, Charlie Tokarz-sax, and John Dekadt-percussion.
