New Ren Faire Music Resource

Awesome! Someone other than me is compiling a list of Renaissance festival music groups. That's fantastic. I made sure to submit the Brobdingnagian Bards and Marc Gunn and also another great Ren Celtic band Celtic Stone. One of these days I'll get around to contacting David Clauss to see about them re-releasing their albums.

Guess it also sorta makes my Renaissance Festival Music dot com webpage redundant. That's okay, I'm gonna update it one of these days anyway.

Some of you know me, others have met me, many of you have no clue who I am. I'm not trying to sell you anything, or carry your music in an online store. I, like yourself, am a musician. My name is Bob and I perform with the Ren Group, "Marooned".

I have created a website, Modern Bard, which can be found at Modern Bard - Ren faire music.

The goal of the website is to create a complete listing of every Ren and SCA related musician, the formats that their albums were released in, a link to the artist's website and, when possible, a link to the website selling the music. There is no cost to be listed on Modern Bard. The only thing I ask is that you keep me up to date on new releases so I can add them to the database...and even that isn't mandatory. If you have old albums (especially old cassette releases) that aren't in the listings? I'd appreciate you telling me about them.

I will eventually be adding a "News" page so that visitors can keep up to date on all of the latest album release information and all of the latest news on their favorite groups.

The whole idea is to have one site where people can come to looking for Ren music. I'll be adding album reviews and I denote which albums are currently in our music archives.

So, to recap:

Modern Bard is a website that plugs your albums, free of charge. You don't have to do a thing but make music.

Thanks for your time,
