Jim was born in Bridgeport, CT and began creating music at the age of 8 with his accordion. Years of playing multiple instruments his true love landed on percussion. Though he has played in several bands of different genres he now focuses primarily on the handpan. He has released several albums integrating handpan and electronic sounds. Jim is a sound bath practitioner offering sound meditation in various spaces in CT. He also performs regularly, solo and with his psych-rock band Earth Passenger.
Alchemist, handpan musician, vocalist, calmUNITY organizer and visual artist currently based in Maryland. Her creative spirit derives from a multicultural upbringing and holistic, spiritual approach to engaging life, fused with a deep-seeded connection to curiosity. In 2016, Sarah Paz Hyde discovered the handpan, an instrument that brought her full circle to her life’s purpose, “aiding others in more deeply connecting their being to balance within the body + mind + spirit.”
Handpan player, songwriter, and music facilitator from England. She is currently touring her 2023 album “The Earth Teaches”, and spreading the handpan joy through online classes and various workshop events. Knowing just how transformative and empowering the simple act of playing music together can be, Amy crafts her shows and workshops to create a space where this connection can blossom. With the handpan at the center, she plays repetitive mantra-like songs for all to be involved in, breaking down the barrier between “performer” and “audience”.
American multi-instrumentalist from New Jersey, Dan's music is centered around the handpan. Dan's playing style is both beautifully melodic and intensely percussive. His stylistic approach invites the listener to experience elements of multiple genres of music all housed in one easily digestible format. In addition to multiple solo tours across Australia, Europe and the USA, Mulqueen has also shared the stage with Shpongle for two sold out concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado and collaborated with artists such as Mereba, Long Arm, Zebbler Encanti Experience and many more.
Ricky is a professional multi-instrumentalist, teacher and artisan, performing on guitar, Handpan, Rav and a variety of World Instruments. Elevating these instruments beyond just drums, his creative songwriting style engages listeners mind, body and soul. After teaching handpan and Rav all over the US and online, his core musical belief is that we are all inherently musicians and awakening our individual abilities is often a life changing experience.
