Musical Blades
Nightmare On Haunted Harbor
The weekend after KC Renaissance Festival ends, and before Halloween, is known as the ‘Nevertime’ …and as the ghost begin to rise and the creatures prepare to stalk the shadows, Musical Blades unleash a spine-chilling show of epic proportions at Harrah’s Voodoo Lounge in Kansas City!
Since the turn of the century, a fearless band of misfit rogues has been terrorizing and delighting the Midwest with a unique blend of hilarity and harmonies. The Musical Blades have spent the last 14 years bringing soaring vocals and vibrant performances to countless renaissance festivals and clubs in 14 states across the country’s midsection.
Offering a range of music styles including mug-banging pub chant-alongs, rowdy folk-rock favorites and tear-jerking sea ballads, this pirate crew plunders the hearts of audiences wherever they go. The Blades are equally at home un-amplified with acoustics and hand drums, or with electric guitars and a full drum kit.

A DOUBLE CD of piratical awesomeness!!!
“PIECES OF EIGHT” (Disk 1) spans the history of Musical Blades since their beginnings as a comedy/fight troupe in 2001 and through the evolution of the group, becoming a comedy/music act in 2006. Since going ‘musical’, the Blades have put out 8 CD’s, most of which are out of print. We are re-recording some fan favorites with modern technology and our current crew. Many of the songs remain loyal to the original, while others get a breath of new life and are completely re-imagined!
“TREASURES OF OLD” (Disk 2), is something many fans have been asking about for a while; a CD of all ‘Bladed’ traditional songs, including Irish, English, Sea Shanties.. We’ve selected some that are fairly well known, but also tried to really research and dig deep to come up with some that aren’t so readily heard. Some songs are popular favorites, while others will be new to even the most seasoned scallywag!
