Over the years Silent Lion has performed everywhere from folk festivals to bookstores to concert venues, including Severance Hall in Cleveland. We’ve performed for Akron First Night for many years, and for medieval dinner theaters, church concerts, and arts festivals, headlined at the Kent State Folk Festival and various state parks and concert stages.
Fans have found us regularly performing at Renaissance and Medieval Festivals in the eastern U.S.
Michael Manderen has been a regular member of our group at the Renaissance faires since 2013 adding his viola da gamba to our performances and delighting us all.
