Bardic Circle
MUSIC!... MUSIC!... MUSIC!... Need we say more?
The Bardic Circle is always teaming with the Talent.... Performances scheduled all day, both days with the pagan community's most wanted musicians!
Our committee is currently working hard to identify local musicians, dancers, drummers and any other genre of entertainment to fill our bardic pavilion this year! Although we try to support and encourage showcasing Pagan acts, it is not restricted to these musicians. We only ask that bands interested in playing support the efforts of spiritual diversity paramount to the coexistence of all paths and to the picnic's success.
If you are interested in performing this year, please contact us and we will get back to you about availability!
Additionally, we are always looking for volunteers to assist with loading in equipment and various other tasks at Bardic circle and appreciate the help! Please contact us if you would like to be a part of our Bardic Circle team. Thank you!

Acts for 2010
| Jennie Starr |
Jennie Starr is an artist from Columbia, MO. She plays independently and also with a couple different groups: Home Brewed Magic and Romani Blue. She also has a solo album that was released in Feb. 2010. |
| Jenn Lutke |
Jenn Lutke has been told that her music can be described as spiritual, deep, connecting and thought provoking. As a singer songwriter she likes for her songs to transcend any particular genre and vary from slow and soulful to gentle and rhythmatic to pop and even folk and country. |
| Ami Amoré & Exotic Rhythms Bellydance | Ami Amoré has studied bellydance for over 10 years, she belives it is a spiritual journey celebrating the goddess within. She has been teaching all forms of bellydance and creative movement through Exotic Rhythms Bellydance since 2006. |
| Saence (playing acoustic) | A heavy, ambient, dark rock band who is based just outside of St. Louis. |
| Ockum's Razor (Acoustic) | In the beginning of 2007, Ockum's Razor reached a point in their musical aspirations where they found themselves without a steady rhythm section, etc. and had went through alot of members and tried out alot of people. Nothing seemed to work. So, being musicians that are dedicated and loving what we do, we decided to branch out a bit and try doing some acoustic stuff. |
| Lida Una | Within most of the greatest music lies an ingrained tension. The greatest songwriters work with it, allowing it to build, until eventually rewarding their listeners with a resolution. Such is the music of Lida Una...each song energetically pulsing with a natural tension that is released by song’s end. |
| Sugar Cyanide | Sugar Cyanide is both a classic and neo burlesque performer. |
| Tribe Ayaka | North & West African -- Tribal Fusion Belly Dance |
| Romani Blue | Romani Blue is a pagan/wiccan band formed in 2002 to accompany belly dance troupes. Romani middle eastern music with a turkish traditional/cabaret. |
| Cronus | Cronus started with the founding members, Matt and Casey, writing songs in a mini studio. The songs and ideas seemed to meet at an organic, but very rock oriented approach. From that day on the band Cronus was born. |
| URN (playing acoustic) | The Chicago-based dark metal band URN (U.S.) is one on a musical journey exploring the darker aspects of both the conscious mind and the unconscious soul. The band has been captivating audiences across multiple genres and have been establishing themselves as one the more energetic live acts to see. |
| Lisa Kaye Blayney | Folk/Bluegrass from Stow, Ohio. |
