Great event!

Strings were a great addition to this event. They were absolutely perfect for the party, although all of us battled incredible weather for this outdoor event. Intermittent rain, high winds, pollen, no-see-ums and yet Strings delivered for us and our guests.
thanks!

Strings of the Heart is a unique experience for the Western World as it evokes a diverse range of emotions from love, compassion, happiness, melancholy, and more. These emotions together will lead you to catharsis and heal your mind and body. Your mind and body go into a deep state of relaxation as the sounds are played repeatedly, and once you come out of it, your senses are rejuvenated, and you feel enveloped by a sense of serenity and peace.

A few reasons why you should experience Strings of the Heart.
1. It’s an experience you have probably never encountered before.
2. The music can be transformational for some, and you can be one of them.
3. You can feel your energy levels revitalizing and feel more adept than ever to resume whatever you want to accomplish.
4. You will feel your stress fade through the soothing sounds of the sitar.

Above and beyond these, music is a phenomenon that brings people together. It is shown that people who listen to specific music can also learn to empathize more with others and identify how they are feeling. The Strings of Heart experience can bring you closer to yourself but also to the people around you in a way like never before.

About

Strings of the Heart is the musical collaboration of Jimmy Wolling and Lynn Geddes-Wolling, a passionate duo from Savannah, Ga. Blending the intricate melodies of sitar with the rhythmic heartbeat of tabla, they create soul-stirring music rooted in Indian classical tradition.

Trained in India under masters of the Banaras and Farrukhabad Gharanas, Jimmy and Lynn perform traditional ragas-melodies tied to time, season, and healing energies-infused with their global influences, including Hindustani, World, Indian Groove Vibe, Romanticism, and even the Beatles.

Their performances are immersive musical journeys that evoke emotion and connection-perfect for recitals, concerts, celebrations, and sacred events alike.

Additional booking notes

Our instruments do not do well in cold weather. They do not stay in tune when it is too cold. We are pretty self-sufficient with equipment. Depending on the size of the venue we may need additional lighting and sound.
