Bare Bliss Released!!! 

Available for streaming everywhere! On April 1 (no fooling) Bliss Hippy releases its first Album in 10 years, Bare Bliss. The album includes a number of songs fans have been encouraging us to record and release for  years. The instrumentation is more minimal than previous albums, with Maureen and Richard doing most of the work. The noted exceptions are the amazing cello and piano of Michael Sebastian; our bass playing sound engineers, Wil Reeves, of CentroCellar studio in Columbia, MO, and Andy Bishop of Giraffe Studio in Hendersonville, NC.; and our grandson Logan Ours, who contributes a mean sax track on “Uncomfortable”.  

Bare Bliss Album Release and Benefit!!! 

Prepare yourselves for the Bliss Hippy event of the season. Bliss Hippy will be presenting a very special concert at the Ozark Actors Theatre in Rolla. This concert will celebrate the release of their first album in 10 years "Bare Bliss"! The majority of the proceeds will go to CASA of south central Missouri and the remainder to the Ozark Actors Theatre. We're especially stoked to be joined by lots of amazing musicians: Ranya Iqbal, a stellar Cellist from St. Louis; Dan Butz, bass player extraordinaire for Reverend Pearly Blue; the Reverend himself, John Pratt; the guitar whisperer, Joe Dunlap; as well as Richie (harmonica) and Luce (vocals) Myers. And it's particularly cool that our grandson, Logan Ours, will be joining us on some tunes featuring his saxophone, as well.

To add even more to this festive night, wine and beer will be available via the Public House Brewery and St. James Winery!

Better Way Music Video 

This is a music video of Bliss Hippy's original song "Better Way", about the turbulent summer of 2016 involving police shootings of blacks, retaliation, and healing. The video was inspired by the work of the Venerable Pannavati and Pannadipa and the Heartwood Refuge.
