Climb aboard with award-winning storyteller Captain Daniel (Dano) Quinn as he
leads us in song and maybe spins one of his colorful and original
seafaring yarns, collected over 30+ years at sea!
When asked to share his bio with us, Dano writes, "I was born at a very
young age, in fact I was an infant at the time, to two parents; my
Mother & Father... I grew up in Mystic, CT. I fell in the water
while crabbing when I was 5 years old and never came back out! I'm a
licensed Captain of both sail and motor vessels and have been working
aboard ships for over 30 years. The first half of my career was all in
tall ships so I come by my shanty singing honestly. I'm also a story
teller with a unique spin. I recite original humorous sea stories in
ballad style. I've performed at the Fisher Poets Gathering in Astoria
for the past 6 years, I've won the Seattle Maritime Festival "Stories of
the Sea" Contest 4 times, and have also won the Northwest Folklife
Festival Liar's Contest."
