Guest of Honor

Cheshire Moon

The enigma of sarcasm and silliness that is Cheshire Moon is composed of dynamic duo of Eric Colman and Lizzie Crowe.

And composed is the right word! Eric studied theatre and has been performing since he was very young (ask him about being repeatedly killed off by his dad, it’s a trip!). Lizzie, daughter of a concert pianist, has been around music and performance her whole life as well. One of her earliest memories was hanging over the orchestra pit wall during the Nutcracker (her waistband held fast by her wise father, who know full well she would go over the wall with half a chance), and fallling in love with the stringed section.

Together, these two music mavens weave song and story into beautiful worlds, filled with colorful and powerful characters. Some of their own making, others lovingly reworked into modern day marvels.

And so Cheshire Moon rises over the horizon, shining down with a wry grin, and sharing wondrous stories as they go.

Jen Midkiff

Jen Midkiff has somehow become a long-time filker, with two decades as part of the filk band Wild Mercy, and three albums with that band, as well as three solo releases of her own. In her mild-mannered mundane persona, she teaches harp, piano, and voice lessons; teaches harp as part of her local schools' orchestra program; and teaches elementary music two days a week. In her not-so-mild mundane persona, she is half of the rock duo, Harp & Axe, playing local establishments in her home stomping grounds of central Indiana. Jen loves reading, knitting, and snuggling up with the various four-foots of her Underfoot Clan.
