Amazing Tour of Fantasy Festivals and Renaissance Festival

I can't wait. Just a few more weeks and we start our great adventure.

It's nearly a year since, Andrew and I started playing music full-time as the Brobdingnagian Bards. I quit my job at the University of Texas because I wanted to be a musician. It took me over ten years to reach my goal, but then something happened I didn't expect.

You see three years earlier, we were at the Houston Highland Games. There I spent a few moments talking with EJ Jones and and Jennifer Hamel of the band Clandestine. They had recently announced that they were breaking up. One of the reasons for it was because they were tired of touring.

EJ told me they would spend two months on the road. It was exhausting. He also said that three was about the longest they could easily handle.

I took their advice to heart. Working with the state of Texas, I couldn't do three week or two month tours. Now that I am a full-time musician, I can. However, the opportunity has never presented itself.

That's all about to change. Come May, we are doing our first three week tour. I'm excited too. We're driving to Cassidy's Irish Pub in Corpus Christi to the Georgia Renaissance Festival. Then we hope to supplement those shows with a couple gigs in Missouri and Nebraska, followed by a grand finale at the amazing Opus Fantasy Arts Festival in Denver, Colorado.

Grand time for all.

But first, we're heading back to Long Island for a Renaissance Festival.

Good times ahead!
- Marc Gunn, Bard
