a demented maniac with some pots, pans, and a washboard.
We are a husband and wife duo in Cary, NC who perform Wizard Rock, Potter Filk, Celtic, Medieval, Renaissance, and original folk music. We've been doing music together since 1992 and gotinto wizard wrock in mid 2007 after seeing Harry & the Potters. Scott is also known as Master Efenwealt Wystle, a bardic laurel in the Society for Creative Anachronism. His bardic CDs are available from our store Camelot Treasures a crazy, eclectic gift shop catering to fans of history, fantasy and all things magical. You can also preview/purchase some of our bardic music at Soundclick.com
If you're wondering where we got our band name from, then re-read the final chapter (not the epilogue) of Deathly Hallows. Luna pulls a clever "hey is that Elvis?!" to give Harry a chance to slip away.
Buy our CD!
We just finished our CD "Voldemort Made Me Crap My Pants". It's sort of a wizard rock sampler we put together to help expose our regular audience to the world wrock. It costs a mere pittance of $15 ($12 for the CD plus $3 for shipping and to cover Paypal fees). NC residents add 6.75% sales tax. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to First Book and the Wake County Literacy Council (a group that supports literacy programs around our hometown Raleigh, NC).

Attention Wrockers! Looking for a Venue?
If you are a performer looking for a fun gig, we have the place for you. Our store in Cary, NC has a performance space in the back with room for about 50 people. We have a large following of Harry Potter fans (as well as celtic, medieval, renaissance and fantasy fans) who would love to hear you. You're also welcome to crash at our house. So please think about the Raleigh-Durham area for your next tour.
Scott! Thank you and Kirsten so so much for letting us play and stay with you and for taking care of me and making me laugh and hot chocolate. I honestly can't thank you enough, it was probably the best show of the tour.
In the car on the way home I realised that I actually knew all your music. o.O We were listening to the album and I was like "....WAIT A SECOND!" I fail but I blame it on the Terminitis. :(
Again, I love you both, I love your shop! I want one of those HP sweetie tins (there were no prices on!) and I shall purchase one the next time I see you!
Thanks for the birthday wishes, and sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. I was trying my darndest to get things set so I could come out on Friday. I'd definitely love to shoot another show.
Unfortunately, I've got a paranormal research shoot on the same day.
