Featuring LUNAR FIRE
LUNAR FIRE, based in Denver, Colorado, takes audiences to new heights with spectacular dance and musical performances. Pre-Columbian flutes, multilingual vocalists, powerful drummers and a wide range of bass and guitar styles tell stories reflected in dance. Aerialists fly, drop from the sky, crawl into a cocoon and emerge a warrior, a nature spirit, an animal guide. Multiple dancers meld into one multi armed being, circle, battle and burn fire in the form of dreamcatchers, antlers, machetes, staff, torches, ropes, multi poi, fans, fireflies and other surprises. Paintings come to life mysteriously hovering in the air. - lunarfire.com
Oak, Ash and Thorn
 A Pagan band that plays folk metal, Oak, Ash, and Thorn hails from Northern Colorado. With a sound similar to
Amon Amarth, Immortal, Tyr, and Ensiferum, the Beltania staff is really impressed with these newcomers to the Beltania scene! Listen to a track from their upcoming CD, "Praise to the Immortals"

Betsy Tinney
Betsy Tinney, recipient of the 2012 Pegasus Award for Best Performer, is a Northwest cellist known both for her graceful musicality and her broad versatility. She has performed and recorded with many different groups, from solo acoustic performers to large rock bands; her contributions to each are unique and, as she explains, “whatever the song wants.” Betsy also performs solo, using a combination of acoustic cello and electronic looper that creates an interwoven tapestry of sound. Her solo cello work has been called “captivating,” “mesmerizing,” and “a rich texture for the ear, reminiscent of dark chocolate and fine red wine.” - stealthcello.com

SJ Tucker
S.J. Tucker came flying out of Memphis, Tennessee a decade ago, guitar in hand, and her feet have hardly hit the ground since. Folk, Pagan, Blues, Rock, Celtic, Gospel, Geek, Jazz, Punk, Opera, Goth-industrial: all of these types of music share space in her impressive discography, and their varied elements are bound together by her masterful lyrical storytelling. No two of her concerts are the same, but S.J.’s skill, presence and desire for connection with her audience consistently shine from every stage she crosses. Beloved of the Pagan community and even named “the face of NeoTribal Paganism” by Witches & Pagans Magazine, Tucker is proud to contribute to the vibrant soundtrack of festival life. - sjtucker.com
