Rivka Levin
Rivka began only playing the harp after a friend offered to trade harp lessons for voice lessons. She could not have known, more than 20 years later, how much it would come to define her as a musician. The sound of the harp and human voice together is an ethereal, evocative combination, and by regularly allowing guests at the Georgia Renaissance Festival – both adults and kids as young as two – to play her harp for a few moments, she has been inspiring countless others to become musicians themselves.

Ashling Owlwood
My name is Jess, and my love for Ren Faire comes from being taken to the one in Fairburn when I was around 10. It was like stepping right into the books I read; Into a different realm. With how hard life can be, I think we all need to do that sometimes. More often than not, we could all use more whimsy- and magic- in our lives. This is why I became not only Jess, but Aisling (ash-ling) Owlwood- to bring a touch of magic with me, wherever I may be.
