The Whiskey Bards

About Me

The Whiskey Bards are a group of four men who joined their musical talents together to perform the bardic arts of times past. Their performances include their own arrangements of traditional folk songs, sea shanties, and ballads as well as their own compositions of renaissance style music designed for the modern ear. Primarily Acapella, but sometimes including a variety of instruments, the Whiskey Bards put on an engaging show designed to both entrance and amuse you. Based out of Tucson, Arizona, the Bards are actively looking foward to performing at a venue near you!
