Beautiful
harmonies! Haunting woodwinds, stirring guitar and drums!
Rude Elizabethan euphemisms! What more could you want?
The
Wild Oats
played a mutated brand of Celtic and original folk at
San Diego area coffee houses, science fiction
conventions, Renaissance Faires and Society
for Creative Anachronism events from 1991 through 2002. Influences on our style included: Silly Wizard, Steeleye Span, the John Renbourn Group, Boiled in Lead, Jolly Beggar and the Medæval Bæbes.
The Wild Oats played their last concert on October 25th, 2002 at Lestat's Coffeehouse
in the Normal Heights neighborhood of San Diego. It's been a fantastic run, and we couldn't have done it without our fans. Keep buying the CDs--
there's plenty left!
The Reviewers Say:
"...an intriguing mix of historical and present-day music...."
--Murdday Fisher, AllMusic.com
"...absolutely great music and well made!"
--Joseph P. Spencer III, DSK Publications
"...amazing songs and harmonies. 'Mirror'...[is] very passionate and beautiful."
--Mark Gunn, editor of The Celtic Muse
