Every year, the Ohio Valley Filk Festival (OVFF) hosts the Pegasus Awards. These awards recognize the most beloved songwriters, performers and songs within the filk music community. This album features our favorite Pegasus-nominated artists and songs.
Here, you’ll find a collection of 22 storytelling songs on themes of space, science, and science fiction (nearly 90 minutes of music!)
These high-energy tracks bring new color to filk classics, and introduce newer songs that we love — and hope you will, too.
As always, we’ve spared no effort to make this into the most listenable project we can, with countless hundreds of hours spent carefully editing and engineering this into the best project we can make.
