"Spancil Hill" by Jed Marum


Jed Marum is a music man. His sound is similar to Dublin City Limits with a touch of Texas Green Grass and Houston in the Rare Ould Times. He mixes Irish melodies with Appalachian rhythms and Tall Texas Tales. All of this is spun out in a festive frame of mind, with the most emphasis falling on the vocals. An amazing listen!

"Fairy Queen" by Kenny Klein

Kenny Klein is a fiddler, singer, guitarist, songwriter, and all-around performer! He's a veteran of Renaissance festivals, concert venues, and smokey country bars. Not only is Klein well known for his serious song, but he also performs his own original works with his tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Being a songwriter makes him a natural storyteller, and he has tales of his Renaissance festival life that are truly amusing. Yet, his song lyrics are often evocative and full of folklore and myth as well as the more comedic tunes.

Klein originally hails from New York City, but has traveled throughout the United States and Europe. He has played the main stage at various shows and pubs and has won fiddling contests in New York and Kansas.

"Chimina Morbheanna" by Allison Girvan


Allison Girvan's sound is a combination of traditional music from around the world with stunning arrangements that honor the timelessness of both the tunes and the lyrics. The lyrics express loss, hope and love. They explore dreams and prophesy. They are emotional. They are the words of a poet, that somehow transport the listener through time and culture.

Girvan's music career is as decorated as can be. She has seen experience as a professional singer, arranger and director. Her voice has been included in performances with ensembles, as well as being featured as a soloist.

In 1993, she began a musical relationship with John McDermott that has placed her on many recordings, international tours, and on the PBS special, "A Time to Remember." She will also be featured on the December 2007 Christmas Special with John McDermott. Her first CD, entitled "Resonance" is primed with her amazing vocals and her unique sound.
