The Faithful Sidekicks are an award-winning acoustic (mostly) comedic filk/geek folk-pop duo who write and perform original catchy songs about SF/F, fandoms, gaming, and technology. They’ve been delighting audiences at conventions, clubs, and coffeehouses around the US, Canada and even Germany since 2014. They have won multiple Pegasus awards (including Best Performer in 2021) and were recently inducted into the Filk Hall of Fame.

The Faithful Sidekicks combine Eric’s music writing skills (he’s a founding member of February Album Writing Month) with Jen’s improv comedy skills to create songs about their nerdy passions with a ton of heart and a side of snark. Whether it’s an indie-rock song about board games, an upbeat pop song about Han Solo, or a love song written in SQL Code, the Sidekicks have something fun for every kind of fan. The Faithful Sidekicks are based in Oregon City, OR (the end of the Oregon Trail) and have released six CDs including their latest, an EP of nerdy Holiday songs called Santa Is A Redshirt.
