1) Is "Modern Bard" a store?
 No. We do have links to several stores in our listings though. We aren't in the business of selling music, we only help you find it.

2) What sort of artists can I find on "Modern Bard"?
You can find quite a few types of artists here, and all of them perform at, or have performed at a re-enactment festival or SCA event. If they move on to new artistic arenas? We'll still follow them. If your favorite faire group puts out a heavy metal album or has a punk album in their past? We'll try to let you know about it.

3) What about out of print recordings?
Currently there is no real source for out of print recordings and we here at "Modern Bard" discourage the bootlegging of albums. We are hoping that eventually we might be able to offer once out of print albums on a "burn on demand" basis, allowing musicians to put their backlist in the hands of new fans. That is something for the future however and is not something being offered at this time. We are now hosting a few out of print albums for download with the permission of the artists.

4) Where did this list come from?
This list was pieced together after scouring the internet. Listings were found and tracked down from Renaissance Faire websites, Yahoo Groups, personal webpages, band webpages, and our personal archives. Now that the site is up, information continues to pour in thanks to people like yourself who are sending us information from their collections to add to what we already have.

5) How do I become a "Featured Artist"?
There is no set method to how our Featured Artist is selected or even how long they will remain on the front page. There is only one requirement, the artist MUST have an album available for sale that we can link to. After all, if we are going to tell you all about an artist, we want you to be able to buy their music. To us, that seems only fair(e).

6) You really don't make any money from this?
Nope. No sales, no advertising, nothing. Donations of music and information are always appreciated though.
