Catch the Baltimore consort sometime. They tend to take more of a folk approach to early music, and do a lot of pieces, like arrangements of Playford tunes, that often don't sound remarkably different than some of the OT stuff. They have a very good cittern player (Mark Cudek), although the last time they came through Seattle, I think he played everything but the cittern... They are one of my favorite groups, even if they don't wear black (actually, I don't recall what they wore last time).
