They are playing at Cornerstone in Illinois this summer with Miranda Stone.

This is an intro to the music from the website that is cool:

The path (marga) of Bhakti is one of loving devotion and complete surrender to God. In this ancient tradition, music and worship play a fundamental role in the expressions of the bhakta (devotee). These devotees might be a few people gathered around a dholak drum player in a camphor-lit temple, professional singers in a concert hall, or simply a family gathered in the home. Their songs are called Bhajans (songs of devotion). Bhajans can be heard sung late into the night or in early morning hours all over the world wherever there are bhaktas.

Over the last few centuries some poet-singers of the Bhakti tradition in India have become followers of Christ. In keeping with their cultural heritage, they began to compose bhajans to Yeshu Krist. Though the majority of Indian Christians have chosen to embrace the worship style of the West, there are an increasing number of Indians as well as westerners that are discovering the depth of worship and devotion expressed in bhajans.
