Murari Band originally formed in 1977. Balabhadra dasa and Naradi devi dasi were two of the founding members of the Murari Band and they have been performing and writing Vedic-based songs together for more than thirty five years. In the early Eighties the Murari Band was joined by guitarist Hasyagrami dasa, who was fixture in the New York music scene during the late Sixties. Murari Band released two LPs and several cassettes during the late 70s and mid 80s. One of their songs, 'Political Man' received national exposure. Another one of their songs 'Things Ain't What They Used To Be' was played on the Rosie O'Donnell show. What started out so many years ago has greatly grown and matured. Murari Band established itself as a one of the most creative and prolific bands in the Atlanta music scene and their original recordings have become collector items for their numerous fans worldwide. Murari Band changed their name to New Money Band for a short period in the mid 80s and quickly became recognized by Creative Loafing magazine as the best up and coming band of 1984. The group released a cassette entitled “Something of Value” and was also featured on a compilation LP with some of the most popular local Atlanta bands during that time period. They also performed at the Piedmont Arts Festival and at most of the local rock clubs. In recent years the the three remaining members of the Murari Band decided to focus on their original passion which is Kirtan. Balabhadra dasa, Naradi devi dasi and Hasyagrami dasa are direct disciples of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and have been practicing kirtan for more than 40 years as part of the Atlanta Hare Krishna Temple community. Recently they were joined by bassist and vocalist, Shanti Keshavi devi dasi, who is an accomplished bass player with a unique background in rock and various other styles having played in several successful bands. Her vocals and playing style perfectly blend with the band. The final addition to the band is keyboardist and vocalist Goparaj dasa who completes this unique musical and spiritual ensemble.
