Bardic Fires

Rosaleen Dhu artist Lorelei Skye performing her own original and 'filk' peices in her unique take on traditional style.

Album Notes from CDBaby.com:

"Along with being a founding member of Rosaleen Dhu - Lorelei Skye (C. Coate) has been a member and bard of the historical studies organization the Society of Creative Anachronisms, and a Renaissance Faire performer around the midwest for many years. The songs written and compiled on this album have been inspired from her time in both of these groups, and the world of the 'olden days of yore' as it has been recreated within them, as well as experiences of the very unique culture of the groups themselves.  Lorelei would like to dedicate this album to her SCA Bardic Household."
