QUOTES:

"Delightfully Weird"
Northeast In-Tune Magazine
By Matt Staute

To see a show by The Wandering Bards must be very interesting indeed (judging by their set list) which includes such diverse songs as "Ring of Fire" (Johnny Cash), "Stray Cat Strut (Stray Cats), ", "Cheap Sunglasses" (ZZ Top), and the children's classic…"Froggy-went-A-courtin'?"

Hmmm. Sounds like some unsuspecting audience is in for a delightfully weird evening!
