We don't have a Tipi (darn it), we will have our wedge tent and we will be camped by Randy. I will be helping Randy with the school days. This will be the first time for that. I hope to do more, I just want to get a feel for how to go about it. I can't wait :)

Brigands' Folie Don't forget to click over to our "My Band" tab and listen to some samples! There are 30 clips of songs over there to choose from. A couple you can download, and even a few videos! Check it out.

Brigands' Folie is an acoustic duo based in Minnesota and playing together since 2005. It is our mission to educate the public about the lives and stories of 18th Century settlers, pioneers, soldiers, and sailors through music of the period. Our ensemble features voca...ls, guitar, handcrafted bodhran, and mandolin, and is frequently accompanied by penny whistle and fiddle. We perform in period-appropriate attire at Living History Encampments, Rendezvous, Battlefield Reenactments, and other public events focusing primarily on the time period from the Seven Years War (1750s) through the War of 1812. Our debut CD, Fog & Fire, is now available! Get your copy today from our website or on iTunes! We're currently in the studio working on our 2nd CD, which should be available by year-end.

What are digs? Some say 1 dig, 2 digs, etc?

If you like the song, you can click "+ dig" I believe, and it increments the number. It's a way of tracking popularity, I guess. I'm not completely sure.
