• "KDZ met Chris Brenne last year at the KYTA Conference and was quickly impressed with what one man and his guitar can create.  
    Have you heard him yet?
     
    If you've been to Kripalu in the past year, chances are you have.
     
    His CD, Lady of the Spice Lands, plays in the Dining Hall regularly and some yoga teachers use his luscious tunes for yoga classes.

    Beyond yoga, Chris's masterful guitar playing is great music for long drives, tender moments with your loved ones :), and a million others activities that lend themselves to the beauty of the moment.  His partner Parul joins him on Red Velvet Slide, with her sultry and angellic voice.  
    With his very open mission statement (see his website) and amazing CDs, this is one artist you'll want to turn your friends onto. Or  keep him to yourself as your own personal jewel of music." - KDZ (Kripalu Drummers)

  • “Listening to Chris’ music is like getting a massage for your mind.” Stephen Cope, senior Kripalu Yoga teacher and author of Yoga and the Quest for the True Self

  • “Chris’ music lends itself to self-exploration and organic movement and translates into subtle differences in your practice and great differences in your overall outlook.” Karen Fabian, RYT – D’ana Baptiste Studios

  • These solo acoustic guitar recordings are remarkably beautiful and have the ability to instantly transport one to a calm and tranquil space. Encouraged by his yoga teacher, Chris rewrote these compositions specifically for enhancing yoga, meditation and massage practices. These lush and heart warming songs draw inspiration from a range of styles to create complex harmonies, intricate melodies and introspective landscapes. - Timothy Burgin, YogaBasics.com

  • ”I have to admit that, every once in a while, someone will show up who is a couple of cuts above...Chris is an unusually sensitive guitar player. He gets nuances out of the instrument that most of us don’t even imagine until we hear players of his quality." - Steve Thorpe, RC Journal

  • “Chris Brenne is not only a phenomenal musician, but also a wonderful presence to have within a yoga class.  His music flows through the yoga practice like a sweet companion to the breath.” - River Morgan, RYT, Aspen, CO

  • “I have used Chris Brenne’s music for my yoga classes and what comes to mind is that it is heart-opening. It is one of the pure solo, acoustic guitar arrangements that I have found... Something to nourish the mind, body and spirit.” - Brenda Fingold, Kripalu Certified Yoga Instructor

  • Chris had the honor to perform at Backroom Productions – Guitar Masters Concert Series, which stage has seen the likes of Windham Hill artists in previous years – March 2002 and 2003.

    From Custer, SD United States - As a yoga teacher and massage therapist I highly recommend "Lady of the Spice Lands". I was first introduced to Chris's beautiful CD by one of my yoga students. I played it at class the day she loaned it to me. It was a hit with my students (and massage clients) from the start! Flowing easily from one song to the next, "Lady of the Spice Lands" carries the listener to a faraway place free from stress. Few CD's in my collection can move me to flow through a massage like this one-it's a keeper!

    From New York, NY - The music on the CD is beautifully surprising, and provides a mix of serenity and intensity, seduction and sensuality. There is something for everyone in this CD. You will not be disappointed.

    From Quincy, MA United States - Lady of the Spice Lands...Wow. Taking time to lay back and listen to the CD over the weekend, I was lead on a journey of the emotions. Initially, the touchstones were longing and love and loss...and the next time...joy, light travel, and desire. Since then I listen to the CD often and discover more each time. Thank you for such a rich offering of music.

    From Bridgewater, NJ United States - This is a fantastic album! It is both relaxing and uplifting - I play it all the time. Nice to wake up to and nice to unwind to at the end of the day. Brenne is a true artist!
