Fall means Renaissance Festival season. Huzzah! Get into the festival mood by listening to some of my favorite bardcore bands and medieval-style cover artists.
Algal the Bard is an extremely talented musician who plays all the instruments in his covers of metal and rock bands. Here are a few to get you started: Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train, DragonForce's Through the Fire and Flames, Europe's The Final Countdown, or Black Sabbath's Iron Man.
Hildegard von Blingin' is a staple in my household. Once you've heard her cover of The Animals' House of the Rising Sun, Lady Gaga's Bad Romance or Dolly Parton's Jolene, you will forever be a Blingin' fan.
And here's a real left turn for you all, but who doesn't love dancing hobbits singing about Gandalf the Grey to the tune of Taylor Swift's Shake It Off? I present to you, the Library Bards' hit, Gandalf!
If you're Holding Out for a Hero, come to the HDL Mini Renaissance Faire on July 22nd and be your own!
