The Wandering Bards Are:

The Wandering Bards perform a unique blend of music called "Americana-Gypsy Funk". Giving off a neo-Vaudevillian vibe, they'll make you laugh, sing and do any ol' crazy thang with their heady mix of Blue-eyed Blues, dark Gypsy grooves and foot-stompin' party tunes!

From New York City down to the Jersey Shore, The Wandering Bards have graced many-a venue stage (Starland Ballroom, The Saint, Banjo Jim's) and including festivals such as The Black Potatoe and Union County Music Fest. They have also performed at private parties, cocktail hours and even libraries! They have been featured on the Internet radio channel HomeGrownRadioNJ.com. They won 1st Place in the Acoustic Category on OurStage.com and thus appeared in Relix magazine.

Find The Wandering Bards On:

“The sharp-dressing, gypsy-folk quintet fiddle and strum up a storm on amusingly proletarian subjects: chicken gristle, running out of Spam and their unquenchable will to have a good time! But don’t let all the gags mislead you — these guys are strong musicians, and their joy is infectious.”
— Tris McCall, Star Ledger

"The group's lineup and talents has certainly led the Bards to a unique sound that mixes in Folk, Reggae, Rock, Celtic and Eastern-European-style musical touches."
- Eric Niersredt, The Westfield Leader

Cody Blevins of Vents Magazine says, "Lulling strings, funked out bass lines staying deep in the pocket, and a carnival-esque amalgam of jesters and seriously talented players hoping to pied piper some listeners into the uproar."

An Ourstage.com comment on "The Tale of The Lonesome Canyon Rider" - Posted by Darowyn
"If you imagine Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention playing acoustic, and mixing Country music with Polka and Music Hall, you'll have some idea of what this sounds like. The Wandering Bards are either crazy or mega talented, or as I suspect, both. Brilliant!"
