The Bards (or if you're from Chicago, "Da Bards!") were voted the #1 Best Performing Novelty Band in the 2004-5 Austin Music Awards. They are the "Godfathers of Celtic MP3s." Over five million MP3s have been downloaded by their fans online. One million MP3s were from one song, "Tolkien (The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings)." That single inspired the 2003 release of their CD, Memories of Middle Earth. They continue to give away over a dozen free Celtic MP3s from their website at www.thebards.net.
In July, they released a new CD: Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales. This is the eighth album from The Bards, and it features many of their hit songs inspired by contemporary sci-fi culture from Star Wars to Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and The Last Unicorn to Schoolhouse Rock.
But wait, there's more!
