Some of our 2008 Winterfest Entertainment!

Winterfest is not just a banquet, it is an experience! Entertainment from musicians, pirates, faeries, sassy maids and laughing lords will entertain you throughout the evening. Add to this, dancing, vendors, merriment, good food and drink! The entertainers below are just a few of the acts that we will have drifting around the room...

The Gypsy Nomads   (http://www.thegypsynomads.com)
The Gypsy Nomads are known for their highly energetic performances. From dynamic guitar anthems, to pounding drum jams to original French ballads delivered with a gypsy flair, their show is a whirlwind of guitars, tambourines, toms and tape loops. Collaborating since 2000, The Gypsy Nomads delivers an awe inspiring blend of Gypsy, Celtic, Medieval and Rock styles. The past few years have seen this national touring duo performing to captivated audiences from coast to coast. The Gypsy Nomads features songwriter, artist and veteran of the punk scene Scott Helland on guitar, drums, programmed and live loops and French artist/dancer Samantha Stephenson on percussion, drums and vocals. Their show is an inventive and unique mix of the modern and medieval creating a visually evoking sonic landscape in their unmistakable Gypsy-Nomads-style complete with Scott's hand drawn backdrops reminiscent of Edward Gorey. Check out the feature music article on this bewitching duo in the winter 2008 issue of New Witch Magazine!

The Gypsy Nomads perform year round across the US and have shared festival stages with Candice Night of Blackmore's Night, drum and bagpipe band Albannach, Scotland's Clann an Drumma, Atlanta's Emerald Rose and New York's Voltaire. They have been featured performers at PA's Spoutwood Faerie Festival, NY's Sirius Rising Festival, St Louis' Focal Point Folk Theatre, and at the International New Age Trade Show in Florida and Colorado. Their music has been featured in several independent films, including 'Riders' which aired on the Sundance Channel in the US.
