Internationally touring kirtan artist Jordan Loder, a proud Berkshire native, will perform a special homecoming Kirtan on Friday, May 15, 2026 at Better Yoga Berkshires in Great Barrington. The evening of devotional, meditative music will feature special guest Jurian Hughes, senior Kripalu faculty member and beloved teacher of yoga, voice, and intuitive movement, providing responding vocals.  Jordan Loder is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and kirtan leader known for his heartfelt, uplifting performances that blend traditional Sanskrit and Buddhist mantras with contemporary grooves. He has toured with renowned artists including Deva Premal & Miten, Snatam Kaur, Ajeet, Simrit, Adam Bauer, and many others.   As the son of Nancy Loder — founder of the Berkshire Children’s Chorus and longtime choral director for the Southern Berkshire Regional School District — music and community have always been at the heart of his journey. This intimate hometown return marks a meaningful stop on his current international tour.
