The Bards of KeyPoynt aboard the Lady Washington

Meet the Bards of KeyPoynt

The Bards of KeyPoynt are an Anacortes, Washington based group of musicians who write and perform Celtic-inspired medieval songs. They tour Washington state, Oregon, and sometimes even British Columbia, Canada, playing their songs for any and all who will listen, with a special interest in welcoming campfires at SCA events.

The Bards mainly consists of, well, bards who are a part of *gasp* the Towne of KeyPoynt! Meaning Kenneniah and his lady-wife, Amnara and occasionally a flautist by the name of Reyus who doesn't seem to mind putting up with them in order to make some fantastic music. If you don't speak SCA, you may call them Nathan, Amanda, and Scott.
