Merry Mischief
Once upon a time there were two minstrels. One damsel fair of voice and full of spirit, and one dashing, strong (hey, odor isn't everything!) fellow who met through the fates and spun an acoustic act called "Merry Mischief"! (Which pretty much describes what we do....)

The Harper and the Minstrel

"Celtic Harps, Flutes, Recorders, Pennywhistle, Bowed Psaltery, Guitar and beautiful vocal harmonies will transport you to another place and time!"

The Harper and the Minstrel are the husband and wife team of Jay and Abby Michaels. They have been performing Celtic and Renaissance music together since 2002. Jay plays the both the nylon and wire-strung Celtic Harps, Guitar and he sings. Abby sings, plays Flutes, Recorders, Pennywhistles, Guitar, Harp and Bowed Psaltery. Together they perform traditional and popular music from the Celtic lands and beyond, Renaissance, Baroque and Folk tunes and original compositions. Their song list leans towards gentle aires and ballads with an occasional jig or reel.

Bardic Circle

The Isles Bardic Circle consists of local singers, musicians, and other creative folk that come together monthly to share tall tales, good times and great music.

Myschyffe Managed

Myschyffe Managed is a New Hampshire-based a capella group specializing in medieval and renaissance madrigals. This motley crew was formed by a small herd of "Ren Rats" with a tenuous grasp on reality who also love to sing. The members feel that a bit of authentic period music adds to the overall ambiance of the various renaissance faires gracing our locale, and our audiences seem to agree. Our material is drawn primarily from the madrigal masters of old from Italy, England, Spain, and France. Our goal is to recreate a small part of the musical past for the entertainment and appreciation of the public. We can, however, easily change from the serious music to the, shall we say, traditional songs of drunkenness and debauchery as sung by lords, wenches, and pirates the world over.

Buzzard Bay Buccaneers

Avast! We be the Buzzards Bay Buccaneers and mind ye, we be no ordinary pirates. Our treasure is the tunes we've plundered from the sandy shores of Morocco to the rocky coast of Erin's green isle. Unlike other buccaneers, we don't guard our treasure with a blunderbuss ...we freely share it for all to enjoy! So come listen, sing along, or dance...'tis more fun than fighting the Spanish Armada!

Granny Gruesome
Granny Gruesome doesn't know she is a zombie, poor thing, and wonders why her ears and junk keep falling off. The stories she tells and sings are funny rather than scary... but... WARNING ...they have a definite ewwwww factor.

The Graces

The Graces are a bawdy renaissance themed wench group. Their high energy performances at King Richard's Faire in 2007, Winslowshire Renaissance Faire in 2009, and various other venues have brought amusement to both men and women alike. Come join us for a merry, and most importantly a BAWDY good time, beautiful women, music, and fun! What more could you want?

Paul Calvo

As a solo guitarist, Paul plays traditional Flamenco puro and more modern "ida y vuelta" styles (especially rumba), as well as a bit of Spanish Classical and Baroque guitar. He has enjoyed performing his music at weddings, faires and small club venues. His goal as a Flamenco aficionado is not just to entertain, but also to educate people about this singularly beautiful and multifaceted form of music.

Lady Feyline
Lady Feyline entertains children and adults with fantasy stories. As The Faerie Queene, she teaches the children how to be "pixies" and "earn their wings", with singing, dancing and playing games. Another show teaches the children how to be Princesses and Princes, practicing curtsying/bowing, manners, letters and numbers.
