Three Quarter Ale is an American band from Atlanta, Georgia, that is known for its performances at local Renaissance fairs (in full 17th-century dress and speech). It is composed of "character" members Ariana Pellayle (played by Becky Cormier), Rosemary Quench (played by Rivka Levin), and Wicked Pete Speakeasy (played by Dolph Amick). Their sound has been described as "Ren-Rock" and "Filk", and they combine sounds of modern folk and rock-n-roll with 17th-century madrigal (music)s, in an attempt to replicate a 17th-century Celtic feel, not dissimilar to that of Peter, Paul and Mary, who are among their many influences.
