BJnB is proud to announce that we have recruited a new member to the band!!! 

No stranger to performing at renaissance faires all over the east coast, we are honored to have Mel Ginsberg-Stevens, a great fiddler and singer, joining us for some of our appeareances for the 2008 season.  If the name sounds familiar, she has performed as solo artist, Neid Fyre (www.neidfyre.com) at renaissance faires for the past several years.  BJnB held a rehearsal over this past holiday weekend to shake off the rust and prep for our next gig in January.  We also "auditioned" Mel... now either we were auditioning her... or perhaps it was other way around???  In any event, we all had a great time mixing and adding musical styles and songs for a whole new sound for BJnB.  We look forward to having her join us at the Pagan Jam for our first appearance as a quintet!

Til our next blog....

Hey, I'm sorry I've moved so far away - I love the BJnB quartet, but a fiddle player adds a fantastic touch to Celtic / folk music and I've enjoyed Neid Fyre's performances at number of festivals. So - congratulations to the band for a wonderful addition, but mostly to the lucky fans who will be treated to having something great become even better!
