Hermit Knight is no stranger to the stage, having played multiple shows + festivals, and promises a performance for the ages.
Hermit Knight has been deeply involved in the dungeon synth scene; the project’s founder and creator Nicholas the Gnome runs WereGnome Records and books local dungeon synth shows in and around Rochester
