You're invited to the party...the Bardy Pardy!

Bardy Pardy brings together the musical styles of Hannah Ward, Stephanie M. Krause, and Chelsea Carlson. Born on the streets of the New Jersey Renaissance Faire, Bardy Pardy has quickly risen to popularity among fairegoers and fellow performers alike, and delighted audiences with their brand of lower-class shenanigans since 2017.

With a mixture of traditional folk music, comedy, and stories told through song - all wrapped up in beautiful three part harmony - Bardy Pardy is sure to bring a smile to your face and be a memorable part of your faire day!

Chelsea is excited to reprise her original character, bard and storyteller Ella Grimsley, with Bardy Pardy. Chelsea is an award-winning musician and songwriter, and has performed at numerous venues throughout the tri-state area including the Hard Rock Cafe, Bitter End, and Stone Pony. In 2013, she was awarded Top New Female Act at the Jersey Acoustic Music Awards, and her debut album "The Broken Road" premiered in Songwriting Magazine in 2016. Chelsea's past acting credits include Linda in "The Wedding Singer," Miss Carter in "It's a Wonderful Life," and roles in student short films. She has been on the cast of the New Jersey Renaissance Faire since 2016, and is happy she has found a place where she can both perform and let her nerd flag fly!
