Join in swashbuckling fun for all ages! Sea shanties are a unique tradition with deep roots in African American, English, and Irish cultures.
Listeners will be taken on a journey across both the High Seas and the Great Lakes, singing together, learning the roles shanties played on the ship, and the cultural seeds which sprouted into this maritime tradition. Ben’s passion for music education and cultural preservation is “as boundless as the Great Lakes sky”.
They’ve made it their mission to collect, teach, and breathe new life into traditional song, making sure these cultural heirlooms don’t gather dust. Through community outreach, rollicking performances and intimate house concerts, Ben brings people closer to their roots- reminding us that we all come from songs, that stories live in our bones, and that music is a language older than words.
