MAINE 2025 SATURDAY AFTERNOON ISLAND PARTY JAMS

This year on Saturday we started a jam early around the cold ash pit by the clubhouse. You can’t imagine the ear to ear smile on the face of this old sound man, hearing the music you’re about to hear, through my headphones, doing the thing I most love to do, surrounded by my dear friends of as much as 30 years, and their children and children’s children, singing and playing this extraordinary music. We’re doing this, not in a studio, but in the middle of a party, so  anything can happen, but, every once in a while, everything works out perfect.

This music was recorded in August 2025, on an island in the middle of a big lake in Northwest Maine, where we’ve been gathering, thanks to the Loons, for decades. Many of these friends, musicians, and singers from Maine and from all over the country and abroad, hadn’t seen each other, much less played with each other, for at least a year. It’s all improvisation, Jams, not Performances, with no prior Rehearsals or Song Lists, so this is as real as it gets.

This album is arranged in the actual order in which the music was played, minus the many out-takes, but, when it’s all done, it seems I couldn’t have thought of a better order. The music is all acoustic Americana, though it ranges all over the place, from Bluegrass to Jazz to Folk to Country to Rock to Reggae, (and this album also includes Musical Comedy) but it really works as an organic album, and that’s big for people like me, who still appreciate albums.

Sounds best, like you’re right on that island in Maine partying with us, when played on a good stereo with two separated speakers, left and right, or on a headset, or, one of my favorites, on a car stereo, so that this stereo recording will actually sound three-dimensional. You can hear the location of each instrument and singer. More than ever before, I was able to immerse myself (and my stereo pair of mics) into the belly of the music, literally surrounded by the musicians, the instruments, voices, and harmonies, so that, if you listen in true stereo, I can take you right in there with me.

On some songs, there’s a little too much chatter, but when you’re actually at a campfire, and people are talking, laughing, and partying, you filter that out, and the only thing you hear is the music. Crank it up, and let your imagination take you there, and enjoy. It’ll surprise you.

Elephant Revival :  Sing to the Mountain

We are pleased to release the first track off the new Record "The Story of You". This work marks the beginning of a new chapter for Satsang. A bigger sound, with bigger hearts, and a bigger band. We were blessed enough to make this record in the seclusion of the Beartooth Mountains, which is what I call home. It has been a beautiful journey, and we are so exited to share it with you. We were blessed enough to have my 9 year old step-daughter Chloe sing on the end of the song. She was present the evening it was written and inspired multiple facets of the song, so we thought it fitting that she sing it with us. 
Through the stages, changes, and growing pains. Inevitably and without skipping a beat.... Life Goes On
More music and BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS TO COME!!

Life Goes On

The Story of You was a long time coming... I started writing it while we were in the studio recording "In Between the Blinks" So a handful of the songs have been with us, and played, for over a year. I feel like the growth that has occurred in the last year has been so vast, and the record really speaks to that for me. The growth of the band in members, and I think this summer/fall was a really transformative time for all of us. I was working through a lot of stuff, sealed up a couple last bits of my past, getting used to touring and the ups and downs involved there. I think David and Karl were both figuring it out as we went as well. I think the understanding and acceptance that followed every bout of struggle is what we are here for. It is all a part of the story... So accept, forgive, and love YOUR STORY. It’s the only one you got ;-)

Trevor Hall, huge inspiration for me.. bringing the words and awareness of the ancients.. and presenting them in a new paradigm way. Allowing the healing of many hearts.

" She who rides the lion, rides my beating heart. Darker than my darkness and brighter than my spark. She takes all of my troubles and throws them in her flames. All my pain and pleasure.. everythings the same"

Original Track is "My Beating Heart", found on Trevor's "This is Blue" Album

My Beating Heart - Trevor Hall -  Sri Kala Remix

Song: Put Down What You Are Carrying by Trevor Hall feat. Brett Dennen
Listen here: https://fanlink.to/PutDownWhatYouAreCarrying

Lyrics:
Don't you go to war with yourself
I heard it come through the rain
Don't you go to war with yourself
How you gonna hold all that pain
Let go, let go, let go
Put all of it out of your mind
I know, you know, we know
It's time to 

(Chorus X2)
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down, put down, put down now

(Brett Dennen)
Don't you go to war with yourself
It don't look good on you
Don't you go to war with yourself
You got other things to do now
Let go, let go, let go
Of everything holding you down
I know, you know, we know
The time is now

(Chorus X2)
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down, put down, put down now

You better lay down your arms
You better lay down your arms
You better lay down your fears
You better lay down your fears
Don't you do yourself that harm
Don't you cry yourself those tears
No fear, yeah

(Chorus X7)
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down what you are carrying
Put down, put down, put down now
