While at the 2007 Browncoat Ball in Philadelphia, I interviewed Hawke and Cedric of The Bedlam Bards, a Renfolk musical group from Texas who had recently branched out into Filk, or Science Fiction Folk Music. — ed. N.E. Lilly

Hawke and Cedric began playing as The Bedlam Bards at Renaissance Festivals in 1995. In 2006 they released the first of their Science Fiction folk music albums: On the Drift. Since then they’ve toured Ren Faires and Science Fiction conventions performing their unique blend of Renfolk Music.
