Can’t Stop the Serenity 2009 is now in full swing, and local groups are already getting ready for this year’s movie theater blitz.
If you’re organizing a local event, and you’ve always wanted a Bard around the place, why not bid on Cedric? He’s half of the Bedlam Bards, filkers extraordinaire and creators of such Browncoat hits as “The Ballad of Joss,” “Big Damn Trilogy,” and the “on the Drift” CD of verse-inspired music. Or, as he puts it:
A multi-instrumentalist, James “Cedric” Hazlerig, of the legendary renfaire/filk group the Bedlam Bards, comes to performances armed with two fiddles, a mandola, and a strong, manly voice. His philosophy of music stresses passion before perfection, death before dishonor, and whiskey before breakfast. For over ten years, Cedric has been performing at renaissance festivals and science-fiction conventions from coast-to-coast, including the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival, Dragon*Con, and the Browncoat Backup Bash. His music has elicited compliments from Nathan Fillion, Ben Edlund, Greg Edmonson, and Sonny Rhodes, in addition to causing Joss Whedon to grin from ear-to-ear. After releasing their third album, entitled On the Drift: Music Inspired by Firefly and Serenity, the Bedlam Bards have become the premier bards of the Browncoat movement. Several of Cedric’s songs were featured in the documentary Done the Impossible. Besides appearing at the Browncoat Ball and the Browncoat Cruise, Cedric led fans in song as they picketed in support of the Writers Guild of America strike in front of Fox Studios in Los Angeles.
Win the auction and Cedric will come perform at your Can’t Stop the Serenity event. Also, you’ll win a heap of amazing stuff, such as Browncoat flags, patches, a “Tragic Space Dementia” T-shirt, a Companion fan, some prop replicas, a QMx money pack, a
Kaylee Maquette, the “Done the Impossible” DVD, an autographed photo of Felicia Day (not versy but cool), a Jayne Hat (of course), “something shiny autographed by Joss Whedon”, and more.
Well worth the bidding, and proceeds go toward the CSTS screening of your choice. Bid him high, people!
Hey! Glad you’re back and posting the good stuff, hope you’re OK. Best wishes from the UK!
