Artist History Tom and former partner, Lori began performing together at the Virginia Renaissance Festival in 1995. At that time, they performed authentic instrumental Renaissance and Colonial dance music. In 1997, Laura Keadle joined Tom, and they expanded the music to include vocals and instrumentals. We met Diana at the Virginia Renaissance Faire, 1998 Season, where she performed in the Musician's Guild. Diana recently joined the ranks of TomLori, (Quite willingly despite all the scuttle-butt about being abducted), and has proven to be quite an assett to TomLori. Diana's fine musicianship has earned her the much deserved praises and accolades she regularly receives! Diana comes to us from the New World county the Virginia's where she received Degrees in French & Music from William & Mary.
