We are pleased to announce that on June 15th we will be having a Sunset Shanty Cruise aboard the PT-Coupeville ferry, and at the landmark Keystone Cafe. if you would like to attend, all you have to do is show up at the PT ferry dock (we'll be walking on) at 5pm, and then we'll sing our way across to Keystone, eat-drink-and-be-merry at the Keystone cafe, and then sing our way back on the 7.30 or 9.10pm ferry, depending how things go.
What a way to spend a wonderful balmy evening! Hope to see you all there.

The Shanty Sing goes on vacation

Don't miss our last scheduled Shanty Sing of the year

Our song leaders this month will be Matt Moeller and Tugboat Bromberg.

And we have moved the event to the Second Tuesday, so this month it will be on April 11th, from 6-8pm at the Maritime Center, Port Townsend. (431 Water Street.)

This will be our last scheduled Shanty Sing of the year. The event will be taking a break for a while.

So, don't miss it! We hope to see you there.

Dano Quinn to lead our March Shanty Sing!

Our song leader this month is the award-winning Dano Quinn, who writes and tells the greatest salty tales, and is a great shanty leader. Don't miss it...Dano is quite the character...you'll never hear stories like this anywhere else; stories that have won national awards.

Chris Roe to lead our Shanty Sing on February 8th

Seattle traditional singer and instrumentalist Chris Roe has been entertaining audiences in the Pacific Northwest since 1983. She was a founding member of the all-female chantey band Broadside, who has toured the west coast from Victoria to San Diego. Her strong interest in traditional music has led her through many a repertoire — songs from the US, Scotland, Ireland, England, France, and French-speaking Canada with a few original compositions for good measure. A concertina and button accordion player, she has joined talents over the years with a wide variety of other musicians, playing for dances as well as for listening audiences. Presiding over her own monthly pub sing for four years and facilitating other song sessions for well over 15 years, she has helped to foster participatory singing in the Seattle area, and she takes great pleasure and pride at uniting people in song.
