Our History
The Pride of Bedlam started like most bands..... Yeah right!
When Bedlam was started we had no clue we would ever become a band let alone a fixture at the Texas Renaissance Festival. Bedlam actually started as a path group for the festival and our Pub Sing was nothing more that a bunch of us gathering at the Leek and Daffodil at the end of the day to sing a few songs with our other fellow faire musicians.
It wasn't till 2007 that we figured out people like our shanty singing more than they liked our acting! So we decided to make the show a sing-a-long. With that came a move to the front of the Prince of Wales Pub.
Since that time, we have changed a few faces over the years and have released a few CD to boot. We have played all over Texas and have played in Louisiana on a few occasions, but our home is the Sea Devil Tavern. Our small little Pub Sing at the end of the day has turned in to a full Renaissance Rock Concert where we get to have fun with all of you!
