This spring festival outside of Dallas is our home faire. You will find us on The Brother’s Stage in Pecan Grove.
Fave Food: Victor’s Pasta Palace/Bakery
A fun festival near Cleveland, we made new friends and reconnected with old ones. We also had the unique opportunity to play with other musicians and entertain patrons in a casual setting at the Feast Hall.
Fave Food: Ice Cream
Minnesota is one of our favorite festivals to visit. We’ve made so many friends, and they always make us feel welcome. They also aren’t afraid to pull us in to play on cast tricks.
Fave Food: Trollhouse cookies/milk
A fun festival near Austin, we were the recipients of “Best Stage Act 2005” at their Golden Ogre ceremony. Pretty sure we won due to the Baby Shark advantage.
Fave Food: Ice Cream
KC was our first home away from home. We made friends with lots of musicians, and love joining in on their pub sings. After all – “Hey it’s Queen Anne’s Lace…and they sing, too.”
Fave Food: Crêpes/Mmmm….Brian
Known around the country by their audiences’ cry of "You have CDs?" they play Celtic traditional-style folk songs. Their distinctive sound is full of high energy and harmony-rich arrangements. Bill is the one we hold personally responsible for the birth of "The All Chandler's Wife Show."
Friends from the beginning, we started out about the same time. When we get together for a little “Minstrel Glass” with these guys we call ourselves Queen Anne’s Revenge.
When we’re not brawling in the streets with these boys, we like to catch their show and lend our voices to the section that gets to “Scream like little girls at an N’SYNC concert…”
Jim and Joyce Lillquist play “Hit and Run Music” an exuberant mix of styles from baroque to reggae. Most often you will see them playing the hammered dulcimer and autoharp.
Hey
Nunnie Nunnie
We have had the delightful pleasure of sharing the Brother's Stage with Mother Redempta and Sister Philomena Claire for the past two years. Their daily “Counseling Sessions” help keep us doubled-over with laughter on the moral high road. Just remember – “God loves me more…”
Hildegard is a friend of ours that sings Medieval chants. She has been know to help us repent when we're REALLY bad, and has stood in as our conscience when Gillian is not around.
Our favorite KC Pirate group. Fun to ogle, laugh at and sing along with...They showed us how far away we were from the line, "Where's my lemon cookie?"
Jem is one of our favorite Hammered Dulcimer
players. We like to sing Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring while he plays,
the problem is we get so caught up listening to him…sometimes we forget
to come in!
Poindexter, Bevis and Jack make up the Motley Players III. These boys will keep you entertained with “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare…UH-bridged!”
They claim to have named themselves Ten Seconds of Harmony because that's all they've got...we beg to differ. These guys are the male version of our Tart Show with no Mom to hold them back! They made us feel very welcome when we visited MRF for the first time and we love combining our harmony with theirs. Hey - did you know Bruce has a hot tub?
Chris and Adam are great musicians we met at the KC Faire. Friendly banter is what first caught our ears, but their clear love of the folk music they sing is evident at every show.
MaritaBeth keeps us looking sharp. She’s not afraid to tackle any costuming problem we bring her, and the solutions are always better than we had imagined.
