This is the Christmas album by Ken and Lisa Theriot. It is the first Raven Boy Music release by both Ken Theriot AND Lisa Theriot together. In the beginning (ca. 1988) their different song selections and writing styles were different enough that separate “solo” albums made sense. Then they just kept doing it that way. […]
Harvest – Song From Lisa Theriot’s A Turning Of Seasons
It’s Thanksgiving in a couple of weeks, the time of year when we think of the harvest and giving thanks for good food and, well, anything and everything really.

Hallow’s Eve – A Love Song For Halloween
The song, “Hallow’s Eve,” by Lisa Theriot is not your typical love song. Well not – that is – unless you consider love songs where the lady falls for a dead man to be typical. The song is from Lisa’s album, A Turning of Seasons. So here is a song that is perfect for Halloween. […]
Band of Brothers – A Song For St. Crispin’s Day
Today, October 25th, is St. Crispin’s Day. This might not mean much in 2024 if it had not been for Mr. Shakespeare and his play, Henry V. King Henry makes a rousing speech before the Battle of Agincourt whose words entered the English-speaking popular culture and stayed. We still hear references to it today. Whenever […]

Agincourt, The Musical – Sort Of
The first three songs on Ken Theriot’s album, Human History, are all about The Battle of Agincourt. It was not necessarily intentional. It’s just that Ken has had a fascination with Agincourt for years, and the first songs written (lyrics by Lisa Theriot and music by Ken Theriot) for the album were those three. And […]
Lisa Theriot’s New Song – “Tomorrow”
It’s true! We finally have a new song recorded and here it is:). The song is called “Tomorrow,” and is from the upcoming album, “A Thousand Nights and a Knight” (which will be a Ken and Lisa Theriot album). She and Ken have been playing the song in their concerts for over a year. So […]
Music Video For “The Dragon” – By Ken Theriot
We just finished creating a music video for the song, “The Dragon,” from Ken’s album, Outlaws and Bystanders. It seemed like a sign that shortly after the album’s release, a movie about (with a twist) the historical Dracula – Dracula Untold – would also come out. So we thought it only made sense to create […]
Soldier of God – Song From Ken Theriot’s Album – Outlaws And Bystanders
“Soldier of God” is the first song on Ken Theriot’s new album, “Outlaws and Bystanders.” The song was written by Lisa Theriot (lyrics) and Ken Theriot (music). So what is the song about? What The Song Is About? Lisa was doing research for a song about El Cid (that song is called “The Ride of […]
Drink To The Holly Berry – Original Christmas Song By Ken and Lisa Theriot
