So going through the Ren Faire Awardsfor 2008, I found that the "Best New CD" info was not recorded at all. That also means that I"m not sure what CDs were released last year. So do me a favor and post a list of all the CDs that you know of that were released by Ren Faire artists. Maybe I'll just make a list.
I'm aware of three that were released in 2008 (or maybe late 2007):
The New Minstrel Revue: Far and Away
Bounding Main: Going Overboard
and my band Merry Measure: Faire Warning
There are probably a lot more, but here's a start!
Porter and Stout: Three sheets to the wind. Rambling sailors: Wonderlust
Crimson Pirates released our fifth CD in June of 2008, "Come 'n Be a Pirate"
Wine and Alchemy released their first CD.
