Renaissance Faire Singing Groups:


All For A Lark
Shortly after moving up to Oregon from Southern California and Country Matters, Mark Warner found that he could not live without singing. He started All For A Lark and they have been performing at Shrewsbury since '96. They are located in Eugene, Oregon and are availible for booking.

The Poxy Boggards
In 1994, Stu Venable decided that he wanted an excuse to drink (and sing) at the local renaissance Pleasure Faire. He called some friends and a few enemies and decided that a group of six men would be a fun way to start and a great way to attract girls. Thus were the Poxy Boggards born. 1
Over the years they have produced the Poxy Boggard's Hymnal, and the Bawdy Parts Seedy Songbook, as well as several albums, Bawdy Parts Barley Legal(with sample songs). Their third album "Lager Than Life" ranges into the parental advisory arena. PoxRidden collects all three previous albums under one cover.
