Beautiful harmonies! Haunting woodwinds! Stirring guitar and drums! Rude Elizabethan euphemisms! What more could you want?
The Wild Oats played their mutated brand of Celtic and original folk at San Diego area coffee houses, science fiction conventions, Renaissance Faires and Society for Creative Anachronism events between 1991 and 2002. Influences on their style included: Silly Wizard, Steeleye Span, the John Renbourn Group, Boiled in Lead, Jolly Beggar, and the Medæval Bæbes.
The Oats appeared at the Timeless Fantasies Faire in Fallbrook, the Estrella War near Phoenix (held by the SCA), the twice-yearly Potrero War in eastern San Diego County (also held by the SCA), Comic-Con International, the science-fiction based Con-Dor, and coffee houses Lestat's, JavaBar Garden Cafe, Liza's Cafe and Library, Twiggs Tea and Coffee, (the late lamented) Thomas Paine's Coffeehouse, and Claire de Lune in the Normal Heights, University Heights, and North Park areas of San Diego.

Always fantastic, always fun
author: Pia Bartolini
I am so happy to see the Wild Oats still having their cds public. As a long-time SCA member, I first saw the band at Potrero War and was absolutely hooked. They are not only musicians of a high calibre, but true performers - every show is a joy to watch and while not always kid-friendly, it gives all a laugh.
The band split due to personal/family issues and different musical directions, but it is wonderful that their collections are immortalized on CD. Anyone who enjoys great musicianship, lovely and varied vocals, styles of all shape and color and an appeal that crosses century-boundaries, The Wild Oats are for you!
