DESCRIPTION:
The Opiate Mass is a group of Seattle artists (from various churches) who come together for beautiful performances of original (or originally arranged) music, accompanied by visual art and liturgical readings. The group's name is a nod both to the Christian liturgical form and to Karl Marx's assessment that religion—or faith or prayer or music or art or worship—are mere opiates for the masses.

Kay Lambert (cello)
Ryan Davis (bass)
Mark Mohrlang (guitar)
