Balticon is home to one of the East Coast’s strongest tracks of filk and fannish music, featuring a variety of concerts, panels, and workshops, plus open circles all three nights.
We’re excited to have a reunited Technical Difficulties 2.0 headlining our program. If you’ve been around the filk community for a while you’ve no doubt heard classics like “Lullaby for a Weary World”, “Ladyhawke”, and “Dairy Queen” – we look forward to TJ, Linda and Jean’s harmonies winging forth from the stage once more.
