Karl Franzen

Franzen has created dozens if not hundreds of folk, filk, trad, medieval and renaissance tracks over the years, specializing in shimmering instrumentals and heart-wrenching, plaintive vocals. His guitar playing is powerful and intricate, and his vocals are nuanced and unaffected, delivered in a warm, rich baritone. The bands he has played with include Harmon's Peak (American trad), Broceliande (medieval, renaissance and beyond), Four Shillings Short and Slainte (Irish) and many others
