The recently reincarnated band Namaste has been awakened with dedication to bringing original music with heartfelt lyrics. Building upon more than a decade of experience, Namaste’s music evolves from rock to blues to reggae and wherever the music takes them in between. Reminiscent of music’s past and creating music’s future.
Namaste came together in 2000 as a four piece with the goal of creating great original music. From basements to festival stages, Namaste has dedicated their lives to making the best music they possibly can, and to spreading a positive message through music and lyrics.
Playing throughout the Midwest, Namaste has spent the last ten years cultivating a sound which is hard to describe as it encompasses almost all forms of music from electronic to country, but is all rooted in lyrical rock and roll. Songwriting is the key element which separates Namaste from the standard "jamband". A documentation of the songwriting evolution can be experienced on the currently released albums Catalyst (2001) and Homecoming Kings (2006).
In 2009 Namaste entered the studio again, but as things became more serious and talk of touring began, certain members decided to move on and experience life outside of the band which had taken up so much of the previous decade.
As the re-birthing process moves into a full growth spurt, we are happy to announce the full line up here as of 2011: Stephen Horning (guitar, vocals, keys), Eric Gettings (bass), Dene Stephens (percussion), Zach Slingerland (drums), Jordan Green (guitar), Andy Fulton (keys, vocals). Namaste considers itself one of the luckiest bands on the market due to its dedicated and talented musicians, as well as a strong network of "family" to help push the band to the next level.
Namaste has recently spent time at Stable Studios in Spencer, IN recording the next release. They are now planning to raise money to finish the record and distribute it as far and wide as possible.
The past ten years have been full of love and heartache as the band has evolved into a force which cannot be denied. Check out a show soon, because it is the only way to really experience this band.
