Medieval March
Kate the Chanticlaire
March 6
Kate the Chanticlaire has been writing and performing her wonderfully odd little songs at festivals and events for over twelve years. Whether it’s a pirate song featuring rubber ducks or a love song about jellyfish, you’re never quite sure what’s going to happen next as she blends the traditional with the modern and the just plain bizarre. So prepare to be amused, entertained, and perhaps a bit bemused by Kate the Chanticlaire!

Each sultry siren has a colorful past that they’ll boast about in detail, while picking your pocket, charming you out of your family’s estate, or persuading you to pose for some “artistic” pictures.
