Chippewa Valley Renaissance Faire
I am going back to the renaissance, again! John Mills has been named as producer for the Faire and Campgrounds in Chippewa Falls, WI, less than 2 hours East of the Twin Cities, and I will be your not so humble host and musical director. On weekends, from May 22- June 20, we will be opening the gates to a medieval wonderland, more spam, than cam a lot. I have assembled a musical cast that will include current and former members of The Gypsy Guerilla Band, Cantiga, New Minstrel Review, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Avenbury/Samirah, Celtic Stone, Hey Nunny Nunny, Boiled In Lead, Cafe Mundo International, Wolgemut and Small Potatoes, plus Billy Miller and a certain story telling monk. I believe the King not only sings, but also plays bodhran, bones, and over 50 jaw harps and mouth bows. There will be a full contact rock and roll joust, and the entire musical cast will assemble at the end of the day to become the largest 13th century bulgarian afro indo celt jazz rock orchestra in captivity, complete with the spinning WHEEL OF MUSIC, a relic of days gone by.
