A Year of Fun

by John Bachkosky (9/15/22)

It's hard to believe that a year has already passed since the first Bards single, The Lady of the Lake, was released! 

Since then, we've learned over seventy songs—from Irish folk tunes to classic rock songs—put on a bunch of shows, filmed a music video, and debuted a whole album's worth of original music! It's been an incredible first year, and it's been full of fun. 

There is nothing quite like playing live music. We love playing music together (it's why we do this) but even more, we love playing for you, our fans. The energy at a Bards show is unlike anything I've ever experienced. Grabbing the attention of a crowd of strangers and slowly building a relationship with them through our music over the span of a few hours is incredible. Turning a room full of strangers into a chorus of voices singing along—and occasionally dancing—as the calendar turns over is so rewarding, uplifting, and encouraging. The smiles on faces, the laughter, even the simple bobbing of the head—that's what makes everything we do worth it. 

It's been a remarkable first year, and we are so grateful to everyone who has supported us in so many ways. We can't wait to show you what's next! From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you all!  

Stay tuned ;) year two is going to be exciting.
