Beverly, Massachusetts, March 4, 1971) aka "Fingar Pickingood" and Alicia Rae Grant (b. Tewksbury, Massachusetts, February 24, 1986) aka "Bonnie Lass". They are known for their performings at several notable Renaissance festivals, such as Arizona Renaissance Festival, Pennsylvania Renaissance Festival, Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival, Colorado Renaissance Festival, Castle of Muskogee (e. g.
