London Wythano: The Wandering Bard
London is a renowned bard whose travels have taken him across vast realms, both real and imagined. His musical journey began in childhood with the heartbeat of percussion, later evolving into a mastery of the flute and lute during his many wanderings. Armed with Native American flutes, tin whistles, his trusty mandolin, and an array of rhythmic drums, he weaves tales and songs from beloved lands like Tamriel, Middle Earth, and Azeroth.
At festivals, London is celebrated for two distinct gifts. First is his ability to transport patrons to a cozy fantasy tavern through evocative melodies and soulful ballads. Second—and most beloved—is his talent for bringing the audience into the performance. By providing instruments for guests to join the song, London transforms listeners into fellow musicians, finding his greatest joy in the smiles that light up when the music truly takes hold.
London’s craft has been honed across a diverse range of stages, from the sun-drenched lanes of major outdoor faires to the intimate, atmospheric halls of indoor conventions. He is a familiar face at premier events such as Lady of the Lakes, the Orlando Renaissance Festival, and the Bay Area Renaissance Festival, where he excels at navigating large crowds and keeping the festival energy alive between stages. His versatility also shines in curated indoor settings like Enchanted Knights and the Magyk and Mythk Festival, where he leans into his storytelling and soft flute melodies to create a truly magical, focused experience. No matter the venue—be it a sprawling forest or a candlelit hall—London adapts his performance to perfectly suit the spirit of the realm.
