The Blibbering Humdingers

The Blibbering Humdingers are a unique band known for their blend of wizard rock, nerdmusik, and filk. Comprising Scott and Kirsten Vaughan, the duo has been active in various musical scenes since the early 1990s, initially performing medieval, renaissance, and folk music within the Society for Creative Anachronism. They transitioned into wizard rock around 2007, inspired by the Harry Potter-themed music scene. The band is celebrated for its witty and humorous lyrics, often drawing inspiration from 80s pop, Celtic folk, and classic rock. Their music is versatile, ranging from jazzy tunes like "Niffler Swing" to humorous parodies. The Blibbering Humdingers have also become part of the filk community, a genre closely tied to science fiction and fantasy fandom.

Their recent releases include albums like "Positively Gruntled, A Collection of Non-Sequitur Ditties," "Fantastic Geeks and Where to Find Them," "Raised by Nerds," "Free Awkward Hugs," and "Nobody Expects." The band's performances often feature contributions from other musicians and their children, Aiden and Liam, who have been integral to their online shows during the pandemic. The Blibbering Humdingers have been praised for their cleverness and humor, making them a standout in both the wizard rock and filk scenes.
