The Gypsy Nomads New York duo, The Gypsy Nomads, channel the spirit of the gypsy
sound, lacing it with a cabaret, celtic and neo-medieval flavor rooted in punk,
folk and the vineyards of southern France. The duo features bilingual
French-born British chanteuse Samantha Stephenson on vocals, percussion and
drums and songwriter and veteran of the punk scene Scott Helland on guitar,
drums, and guitar loops. Together Samantha and Scott create a compelling onstage
chemistry and their music is a lively and animated tribute to the free spirit
lifestyle and their flair for the theatrical makes them hypnotic to watch. http://www.itunes.com/thegypsynomads http://www.myspace.com/thegypsynomads http://www.myspace.com/gypsysamantha http://www.youtube.com/thegypsynomads Imakhu Imakhu, the Renegade Wise Woman, is a career
visual/performing/literary artist who openly lives her life as a Nubian witch
out of the Broom Closet. Her uplifting Nu African pagan music blends eclectic
and traditional folk, Goth, and soulful soft rock. Her vocals, storytelling,
drumming, and folk guitar playing reflect her African and Native American roots. Gretchen McMahon This organic performer plays wicked sonic ambrosia, serving up tasty cuts from a musical feast of jazz, rock, blues and Celtic. She moves seamlessly from Celtic Harp and mandolin to electric guitar, demonstrating why she has been called "The High Priestess Of Shred". Her voice dances from the smokey to the lovely as she sings original songs with lyrics that range from the witty to the achingly beautiful often honoring the Goddess and the mystical. Gretchen makes this Beltane performance a family affair, as she is joined by her husband Scott on bass and her son, Stephen, on percussion. Catch the show and let your "Sexy Witch" out of the cage! "Fire BLITZ"
Fire BLITZ is an eclectic group of firespinners who all began their tutelage under the leader of the group, Jason. In our philosophy, firespinning is not only an art form but a way to honor the gods we believe in and pay homage to our ancestors. All of the members of "Fire BLITZ" use poi as their medium while performing. The members of "Fire BLITZ" have been spinning fire for a number of years at festivals as well as our own back yards, streets, parking lots and wherever we can as often as we can simply for the love of doing it. This will be our first official invitation to perform at a festival. We hope you enjoy it. The spinning of Poi is an ancient Maori tradition from the land of New Zealand, where way back when, men were the only ones allowed to speak during tribal meetings. The women of the tribe however, would use poi to communicate with the men during the sessions and express their views to their counterparts.
