LORAH YACCARINO
Lorah Yaccarino is a playful, nurturing, warrioress who plays a kick ass guitar.

As a vital element of the 80’s East Village Music and Art scene Lorah has lead several bands and has been involved in many Off-Broadway and multi-media performances including work with The Women’s Experimental Theatre and The Living Theatre.
In the 90’s Lorah became interested in the effects of music and sound on the healing process. She then traveled to several sacred Goddess sites throughout the world recording ambient sounds and textures. Feeling a deeper connection to the holistic nature of sound Lorah formed the groups Ritual Motion and Sacred Fire for the presentation of these new found ideas and received several. “Meet The Composer” grants.
