| Masterful musicianship and visionary sound exploration accentuate this vibrant and complex journey into the sacred realms of guitar virtuosity...a mystical merging of guitar into sitar.

He is qualified to teach Audio engineering at College level.
Stevin has worked with well-known producers such as Robert John “Mutt” Lange and a huge spectrum of recording artists - from Paul Winter to Tina Turner - from Bryan Adams to Zakir Hussein.
In the last several years Stevin has returned to his first love of writing and performing music. YOGITAR is Stevin’s third album to date – but truly the first in the style that is closest to his heart.
As a recording artist whose influence is deeply rooted in North Indian classical music, Stevin McNamara’s journey has been far from typical. Raised in South Africa, he grew to love the rich sound of traditional African music. Upon moving to the United States he furthered his musical pedigree studying at the elite Berklee College of music. In the early 1970’s he met and studied Sitar under the tutelage of master teacher Ram Chakravarty (then professor of music at Wesleyan), starting a musical journey that culminates with the introduction of Yogitar. Combining the complex nature of Indian song structure with his insightful and unique musical stylings, Stevin McNamara has created a meditative guitar masterpiece for the ages. |
