2019-08-24/25: getting salty at the Vancouver Wooden Boat Festival on Granville Island

Our band was established, as our name suggests, under the premise that we would be performing shanties to nautical audiences. Then we left it all behind (except for the name, strangely somehow we kept that bit) and skyrocketed to strange heights before splashing down in pieces. Now here we sit, a broken man on a Halifax pier, once again performing songs of the sea to salty crowds.

That's right, folks, the Vancouver Wooden Boat Festival at Granville Island is having us back for the third year in a row; we're playing two of its three days in such company as the Squeezebox Circle Orchestra, the Carnival Band and Salt Thief (and also many wooden boats), and you can find us -- in a radically revised yet somehow totally classic configuration of a totally different band -- headlining this Saturday from 4:15-5 pm and also performing from 12:15-1 pm Sunday the 25th with an oddly familiar set. You can find full details about the free performances out behind the Granville Island Public Market over here, and also further information about how the long-running festival is being run this year. Don't forget your eye patch!
