Vote for your favourite Ren/SCA Musicians!
Do you have a favorite entertainment group that performed at a Renaissance faire near you? Is there a band on the podcast that you absolutely love? What's your favorite Renaissance festival? And vendor?
Once a year, we compile a list of the most-popular Renaissance Festival performers currently performing at Renaissance faires. From now until December 31, 2009, you can vote for your favorites at faire. The following day, I will tally up the votes and compile a podcast to be released in February featuring all of your favorite groups of 2009.
About Us
Kristen Roger
Kristen Roger grew up and lives on Long Island in New York. When she was little, her folks used to take me to a few local Ren Faires at both Sands Point and the Unitarian Fellowship in Huntington. She was hooked from a young age. It was so inspiring - all of the colours and the garb, not to mention the crafts, and of course the joust. She always wanted to go to the big one in Tuxedeo, and plan on it, hopefully this season. She hopes that people will hear our podcast, and come to be as inspired by the music itself, as I was.
Marc Gunn
Cats. Irish music. Drinking songs. Nowhere else but from the bright imagination of Marc Gunn would those three elements be so neatly integrated. Yet Gunn, sometimes called "the hardest working man in Celtic music" around his hometown in Austin, is an accomplished musician and entrepreneur who not long ago headlined at the Oscar party for Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King with the Brobdingnagian Bards, a musical comedy duo who perform at Renaissance festivals nationwide. I addition to the Renaissance Festival Podcast, he also hosts an Irish & Celtic Music Podcast and publishes the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine.
Joe Haydu
Joe Haydu has been called many things, most of which cannot be repeated in the presence of ladies, children, or men lacking extra-ordinary constitution. After discovering the Renaissance Faire Podcast and the Brobdingnagian Bards in 2007, Joe volunteered to help out and has been producing the podcast ever since. When he's not at his day job as an engineer, Joe is also an amateur guitarist and music teacher in the Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia. He hopes to record an album of Celtic music and start playing at Faires in the near future.
Tony Artym
Tony Artym grew up and lives Minnesota. When he was little he parents took him to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Years later he would start going every year to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival and loves it even more. He introduction to podcasts was Renaissance Festival podcast when it first started in June 2005. Today Tony is helps with the Ren Fest Awards, the Hall of Fame and also run the Ren Fest Podcast Facebook group. When he is not doing that or out at the Renaissance Festival, he works on lots of other projects like filmmaking, writing, going to conventions, family projects and traveling.
