Indian music's Aradhna coming off the road in 2013

THE GLOBETROTTING exponents of Indian folk worship music, Aradhna, are pulling back from active ministry in 2013. Read a band statement, "12 years of travelling around the world, meeting hundreds of wonderful people along the way, and sharing the music that moves our souls has been a dream come true for us. While Aradhna's fan base, discography and touring opportunities have continued to grow, our families and home commitments have also grown. In light of these things, we have decided to take a step back from touring in 2013. At this point, it is an undefined break where we will reassess our hearts and get some perspective on the best way to move forward."

Aradhna are planning to release a live album, 'Freedom Firm', recorded in Nashville.
