Traveller's Rest Music Festival
Nashville, Traveller's Rest
The Traveller's Rest Music festival is this sunday but there's no info on the about who is playing. LAst year they changed from celtic music to bluegrass and other tn area music,
Not sure where this should go:
I was approached today about a local Columbia, TN boy scout group starting a small ren faire in March. They did it this year and want to do it again, bigger, better, and including the community. I was asked this year to do some belly dancing, but because of tiemconstraints did not make it.
I am curious as to who might be interested in doing some performances. Forgive me, fo I met him many times at TNRF, but I know thereis a man who juggles a crystal ball. I know we have musicians, dancers, etc. here in our community who might be able to give of their time....
Let me know by e-mail, etc.
Thanks!

The juggler is Avidd. You might try bagpiper. And he's not on here but Matt from previous years did some magic. He was Matmagican or something like that on Myspace.

GAAAAAAAAH! I was so hoping to see you at ORF a different weekend... I can't miss Celtic Fest! :(
Are any Nashville folks going? Now that the media has cause gas panic and $4.49 prices Can anyone afford to go?
Funny how the gas shortage coincided with the fall of the price of oil last week. Miraculously now that oil has gone up again, we'll have much more fuel available. >:(

This weekend, Crockett Spring Park in Rogersville, TN will host their Shakespeare And Friends Ren Fest. I will be there along with Menagerie Music and a host of other entertainers. It's a great little show in a beautiful little park (where Davy Crocket's grandparents are entombed.)

So come on out and support a great little show in a great little community before it disappears.
