Lotus images

 

 

 

Lotus Artist Archives, 1994-

This page is the result of many requests from fans. You'll find, organized by year: artist/group name, and the country of origin OR the style of music. Sometimes, a band may have 10 different members from five different countries—and everyone is bringing his/her cultural and musical roots into the mix. Lists include artists featured at all Lotus events (not just the festival).

Web links are not provided because artists' page change frequently. Lotus does not maintain stocks of artists' CDs or video archives of performances. For lots of great images and stories about "the Lotus experience," get a copy of Bringing the World to Our Neighborhood, a book (and CD). More about the book here.

Volunteer photographer/Lotus image archive coordinator Kevin Atkins has a semi-comprehnsive, post 2000 image archive here: www.lotusphotos.org
