More info at www.folk.on.caPressgang Mutiny are Toronto's Shantymen, dedicated to traveling the globe to discover shanties - work songs passed down through the generations, traditionally sung by sailors and whalers, fishermen and navies, in English (mostly), but also Irish, Scots Gaelic and French. Each with a rousing chorus and beautiful harmonies.
Pressgang Mutiny is a quartet of dynamic musicians and tall ship sailors, they have performed extensively at festivals and venues across Canada, the US, and Europe. They were an Official Showcase artist at the 2023 Folk Music Ontario Conference and have showcased at Folk Alliance International. Pressgang Mutiny are Richard Kott, James McKie, Tim Pyron, and Stefan Read.
Their third album, Departure, was released in summer 2025. By far their most ambitious project to date, Departure explores the musical connections between shanties and other musical genres and includes sampling, instrumentation, guest musicians – and of course Pressgang Mutiny’s signature four-part harmony. Whether performing a rollicking set of shanties from around the world, leading educational workshops for new and experienced shanty audiences, or interviewing other artists as part of their ongoing podcast The Shanty Show, the lads of Pressgang Mutiny are guaranteed to entertain, educate, and delight.
