Performing Saturday at the Bawdy Stage
Maugorn The Stray here. You may recognise me from Pennsic; busking in the market, singing for my supper at Beast & Boar, playing for dancers into the night, or serenading folks in other reputable or disreputable venues. When I'm not out and about I usually give biweekly concerts over Zoom.
Michelle Mountain

Michele's forte is in traditional Celtic and Irish folk music, as well as religious music. Her warm and evocative voice is a strong accompaniment to the tasteful arrangements and precise patterns of her instrument, and betrays the same joy in performance.
