Fantasia, a progressive Celtic folk/rock band features the synchronistic blend of original music of Bruce Rowe and Anela Lauren, backed by the harmonic beats of Adam Weiner. Their inspiration comes from the ancient world of fantasy and its themes of chivalry and honor, which have been lost in the passage of time. Lauren is a classically trained pianist and harpist who embraces the freedom of jazz and improvisation. Weiner has trained and studied percussion from many cultures. Rowe has explored many genres and played across the nation.

The South Coast Folk Society will feature two dance groups

The Side of the Tide Morris Dancers will perform colorful traditional English dances to lively period music to provide an enchanting glimpse of life in the English countryside hundreds of years ago. Their high-energy dances have thrilled audiences in Seattle at Folklife, and at numerous festivals in Oregon and Washington.

International Folk Dance Troupe will feature popular village dances from the Middle East, the Balkans, South America and beyond. The group of musicians and dancers brings the energy and grace of distant lands to the stage for all
to experience.

The South Coast Folk Society is an all-volunteer, nonprofit educational organization dedicated to the preservation, study, teaching, enjoyment and continuing evolution of traditional and historical dance, music and song.
