About the Birds
The quick & dirty facts
The Nightingales are a Maryland-based comedic acapella group composed of Renaissance Faire & comedy performers. These sassy ladies sing a mix of folk music, hilarious parodies, traditional British Isles ditties, and wildly inappropriate tunes (unlaced or straight-laced, as the venue prefers!)
The members of the group espouse a variety of theatrical training including backgrounds in the Ren Faire circuit, regional theatre, opera, improv, and stage combat.
