| Damh the Bard | |||
Damh has always believed that his job is to entertain his audience and take them on a journey through the old stories and myths of this land. His audiences leave his concerts having been fully engaged by Damh, and with a deeper understanding of Britain's ancient heritage. He has performed extensively on the spiritual festival circuit, in the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA, and is as much at home playing to an intimate audience of 50 to playing to 1500+ at the larger venues. In August 2007 he was one of the featured folk singer/songwriters on the John Barleycorn Reborn compilation (produced by Woven Wheat Whispers and Coldspring Records) of modern folk artists who were considered to be breaking new ground in the current folk scene by working deeper with the UK?s mythology and folklore. |

| Arthur Hinds | ||
Since 1996 Arthur Hinds has been part of Georgia-based Celtic/Pagan band Emerald Rose, in which he's particularly known for his singing, songwriting, and bodhran playing. While continuing with ER, Arthur is now branching out as a solo singer-songwriter, exploring a wide array of musical genres, including folk, jazz, rock, flamenco, and of course Celtic. His song lyrics often delve into the spiritual and mystical dimensions of life's beauties, joys, and sorrows, with Paganism, especially Celtic mythology and tradition, remaining a primary source of inspiration. Arthur is also a student of Bardic poetry and storytelling and has been know to tell a tale or two himself. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=808504 http://arthurhinds.com/ |

| Murphey's Midnight Rounders (formerly Dunn County Clerics) | |||
Formerly of the pagan band (Dunn County Clerics) Teresa Frank and Brad Murphey incorporate traditional Pagan tunes in contemporary styles; both Pagan ministers they are able to capture the element of ritual with music and songs as tools. Brad Murphy's original songs are soulful fragments of lost dreams and ambitions with political satire and dark humor. "Call That Never Comes," showcases Brad as an original composer and captures raw human emotion and empathy with lyrics tugging at the heartstrings of the audience. Teresa Frank creates a beautiful atmosphere with haunting backup vocals and bassist Nick Okonek grounds the act with a steady rhythm and low-end harmony. Their song, 'Make A Chain Across the World' has been dubbed "the Pagan National Anthem." |
