Cleveland ConCoction 2025 is thrilled to announce this years Musical Guest: 2d6!

2d6 is the fusion of two gigantic nerds that learned to rap by finding magical 6-sided dice.

They're a couple of nerds, who were once a couple of animals, who found a pair of six sided-dice after running away from a lab--listen, the backstory's a lot to take in; suffice it to say: 2d6 likes to rap about geeky pop culture. Anime, video games, comic books, roleplaying, 2d6 covers it all! And not only do they do it, they do it with more energy, verve, and panache than any other band you've ever seen.

Welcome to Cleveland ConCoction 2d6!!!!

Please help us in welcoming back The Harp Twins as a Musical Guest to ConCoction 2023! 

Identical twin harpists Camille and Kennerly Kitt, known as the HARP TWINS, have achieved extraordinary success by taking Electric Harps and Concert Grand Harps to unprecedented levels and smashing boundaries between different genres of music. The twins’ ability to reinvent the harp has given them the opportunity to represent the United States at four different World Harp Festivals. The duo has amassed over 2.5 million fans across their social media sites and over 150 million views on their YouTube music videos, making Camille and Kennerly the most followed and recognizable harp duo in the world. Mixing their virtuoso harp skills with their stunningly complex arrangements of rock, metal, Celtic, Renaissance, and soundtrack classics - as well as Celtic Nordic inspired original songs - the Harp Twins deliver exciting, comedic, and interactive family-friendly performances that audiences cannot forget!

The friends and volunteers here at Cleveland ConCoction's 2020 Convention (aka ConCoction 7) wish to welcome featured music guests, Wild Mercy! 

The two time Best Performance nominees and 2012 Best Performance Pegasus Award winning group is a welcome addition to our musical guests in 2012.

Comprised of performers Sally Childs-Helton, Barry Childs-Helton, Jen Midkiff, and Debbie Gates, they call their music something like "neo-Celtic-powered post-industrial electro-acoustic folk-rock with jazz influences and freeform choral structure" but agree that it's always more fun to make music than to label it.

We look forward to having them with us for their first time at ConCoction 2020 during performances, panels, workshops, and open filks.
