Euro-American duo Frenchy and the Punk (formerly The Gypsy Nomads) fuse raucous live guitar looping, cheeky ballads sung in English and French, danceable old-world inspired melodies and thunderous tribal-march-style drum instrumentals. Get transported to a world full of humor, theatricality, whirling dance and bohemian spirit. Come experience their genre-busting non-traditional take on world cabaret served with a twist of vaudeville and a dash of steampunk flavoring rooted in folk, punk and the vineyards of southern France.
French-born Brit. lead vocalist and percussionist, Samantha Stephenson and American-born punk veteran guitarist Scott Helland make up this spirited duo. Stephenson, whose vocals have been likened Siouxsie Sioux, was listed in Yahoo Music’s 25 Women to Watch in 2011. Helland has appeared on over 25 recordings and his first group Deep Wound with J Mascis and Lou Barlow is listed in the Encylopedia of Punk published by Sterling.
Touring incessantly coast to coast since 2005 and racking up over 150 shows a year and four full-length albums and a live DVD, they bring their pulse-poundin’ tribute to the free spirit lifestyle to alternative music festivals and conventions across the U.S. and Europe. Frenchy and the Punk’s touring highlights include performances at The Avalon Ball, Glastonbury UK, FaerieWorlds, Eugene, OR, SteamCon, Seattle, WA, and DragonCon, Atlanta, GA as well as sharing the stage with such diverse acts as Dinosaur Jr, The Young Dubliners, Voltaire and German Neo-Medieval band Faun. Their music has been played on the Travel Channel, We TV, the Cartoon Network, the Oprah Winfrey Show and MTV.
Telling Point
Hailed as “Magikal, mystical story-telling,” the music of Telling Point captures a beautiful balance of light and dark in a unique tribal rock sound. Commanding drums will keep you moving as the sensual vocals embrace you. The Telling Point Acoustic show provides listeners an intimate connection with the band. Each song is a story: personal, inviting. Whether it’s the djembe groove or the poetic lyrics, this music is meant to touch the listener: to engage the audience in a meaningful, musical experience.
The debut of Mayan Ruins, a Cincinnati based band, occurred live on September 24, 2006. At the time we were a trio. It took very little time however, to become the entity that it is today.
Our sound incorporates Native American, Middle Eastern, African, and Asian rhythms then mixes them with ( but certainly not limited to ) shamanic and Tibetan chants, electric guitars, bass, violin, saxophone, flutes, mandolin, and resonator guitar that all blend together to create something we like to call psychedelic tribal music.
When on stage, we embody the spirit of improvisation. “Rehearsals are an activity that we shun vigorously”. Christian Hartman. Because of this each show becomes a unique experience, each piece is a first, and each musician freely spontaneous.
Mayan Ruins is not simply a musical experience. Belly dance is also an integral part of the show. Featured in the majority of our shows is a dancer known as Zahara. Be sure to check out her page on this site to see her bio, pics, and link to Zahara’s Tangled Web.
Since the bands conception, we have had the great fortune to work with what we consider some of the most extraordinary dancers and troupes from the tri-state area.
The Pirates of the C.U.C. Constantine is a small collective of independent minds bent on bringing more pirate antics into the world. As a circle of solitary practitioners we celebrate the individual path to Pagan spirituality and rejoice in the opportunity to share our voyage with our good friends. The Pirates have been veterans of the festival scene for over a decade. The Pirates are active contributing members of the Wicca community who encourage civic minded acts of volunteerism to promote pagan values and Earth stewardship. As solitary practitioners the Pirates believe the path to spirituality is a deeply personal one. Operating under the artistic umbrella of the "theater troop", the pirates bring a unique perspective to live performance, historical commentary, and classic satire. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pirates-of-the-CUC-Constantine/158802354169192
