Three Quarter Ale is an American band from Atlanta, Georgia, that is known for it's performances at local Renaissance fairs (in full 17th century dress and speech). It is comprised of played "character" members Ariana Pellayle (played by Becky Cormier), Rosemary Quench (played by Rivka Levin), and Wicked Pete Speakeasy (played by Dolph Amick). They have self-described their sound as "Ren-Rock", and combine sounds of modern Folk Rock with 17th Century madrigals, in an attempt to replicate a 17th Century Celtic feel, not unfamiliar to that of Peter, Paul and Mary, whom they have cited as being a major influence.
