Our Story

In Simple form:

Tyagaraja, a conscientious singer/songwriter with a strong artistic vision from the Houston/Austin area has independently produced his own 2 albums and toured in the U.S. He is setting up for his 2nd tour to India and needs to reach a goal of $3,501.00 to cover expenses from 11-29-11 to 2-7-12, spanning major cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune and more.  Tyagaraja has teamed up with a group of musicians and teachers from Pune, India that will accompany him as a backing band and will also be touring with his wife Gunjen Mittal, a  classically trained Indian dancer, who brings the performance art aspect to the band. The purpose is to bring a powerfully uplifting show to the East, unlike any other show ever experienced by the Indian masses and to garner support for his future visions of positively shaping humanity.

More about Tyagaraja:

Tyagaraja is a dynamic and inspirational artist with a sincere message of love. His live performances are transcendental experiences leaving the participant with complete sensory overload. Tyaga has been given his name by his South Indian teacher and uses his travels, philosophy and emotion in each and every song, performance, and interaction in the world…

Tyagaraja is taking his show abroad.  Last year 2010 Tyagaraja performed and toured in Pune, Bangalore, Rishikesh, and Delhi.  This India Tour will be even bigger.  Plans are set for a major portion of the tour set in Mumbai.  Tyagaraja will bring his east/west folk rock music, classical/contemporary dance, and live performance art to the thriving music and artist scene of metropolitan India.  Tyagaraja and Gunjen Mittal (Classically Trained Indian Dancer) will be teaming up with a group of young music teachers that have a school in Pune to give the shows the full dramatic scope of Tyaga’s US performances.  Tyagaraja’s hope is that they can bring their powerfully uplifting show to the masses in India and abroad with the fusion of art, music, dance, and philosophy.
