Heart of Now presents BrightSide Blue at Mandala Sanctuary.
Prepare yourself for a night of auditory bliss!!
 
Join us for an uplifting, connective evening of music at the Beautiful Mandala Sanctuary in Eugene, Oregon.
 
We are so excited to be hosting the beautiful soundscape of BrightSide Blue!
 
BrightSide Blue is a California
based duo that performs a dynamic live looping set filled with lush vocals, virtuosic guitar work, and uniquely crafted songs. Ananda and Lindsay are storytellers, spirit callers, and songhealers on a mission to open a field of magic through music in which anything is possible. Sometimes bluesy and rocking, sometimes soft and ethereal, the sounds never fail to provide us with powerful medicine for the moment. See the rest of their PNW Tour starting with Oregon Country Fair.
 
The doors will open at 6:30 PM and close at 6:55 PM. This will allow us all to ground in and build a container for the evening to unfold.
To prepare you for the heart felt magic BrightSide Blue brings to the stage, Marisa Hope Benson will start the evening with a Heart of Now grounding in and connection led exercise. She will bless you with some heart song sharing before turning the stage over to
Clayton Seward. Clayton will then take you on a melodic journey with his soothing vocals followed by power of BrightSide Blue!

BrightSide Blue-
“This love story has a soundtrack.” Lindsay Bellows and Ananda Vaughan have found the perfect complements in each other: Lindsay is a soulful songbird, who soars and dives over the lush textures of Ananda’s musical landscapes. Equal parts groove and melody, their songs keep audiences delightfully engaged — tapping feet, singing along, and basking in the love for life that radiates from this couple.
Ananda trained for many years as a jazz guitarist, and has found inspiration in other guitar masters from rock, folk and world music. Lindsay grew up with pop and R&B music, and studied the influencers of her childhood idols — the soul and blues singers of the mid 20th century. The pair brings together the best of all these genres to create a sound that is authentically and uniquely their own.

Clayton Seward- Clayton got his start singing as a boy in choir, and over time he built an ear for rhythm and harmony. Later on as he found his own voice, he started to write songs and sing at open mics. He slowly built the confidence to lead groups in song, and hold space for his friends and community to share their voices. Clayton has a passion for supporting his community in vocal expression no matter their confidence or skill level. He believes everyone has a voice and deserves an opportunity to be seen and heard in their authentic expression.
