More recently they have expanded their reach to other fandom conventions on the east coast such as Dragon*Con, Stellar Con, ConCarolinas, Illogicon, and the Charlotte Geek Gala. Their albums on iTunes include "We Are The Wizard Resistance", “Jinxed in the Head” and “Our Friends Are Wizards,” and their first Christmas album “Christmas Magic” is featured on Bandcamp. Hawthorn & Holly is named after the wand woods of Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter in the book, but in this band, it stands for the joining of light and dark to create music that appeals to the Slytherin in us all, but also shows that nothing is greater than the power of friendship!
