Greenrose Faire - Neverending Journey (2011)

Greenrose Faire plays jaunty medieval-influenced folk rock, taking you on a journey to a world of ancient woods and solitary beaches as well as lively village markets and rowdy taverns. The band has quickly won friends ranging from traditional music enthusiasts to metalheads, and their self-published debut album "Neverending Journey" condences the vision into solid form.
