A dulcet bridge between contemporary music and traditional sea shanties, preserving the traditional tunes but pleasant to the modern ear. (This type of traditional song is also called a sea chanty, collectively chanties. We like sea shanty and shanties.

Bounding Main's crew is a group of veteran environmental theater performers with the love of music and performance in their blood, performing sea shanties and songs of the sea. All of the members are theatrically and musically trained, which makes their shows so much fun!
Preserving the Elizabethan Sea Dog look in their costumes and gear, they sing sea shanties and ballads from 400 years ago through today. While this might, on the surface, sound academic, the Bounding Main shows are filled with spirit, humor and excellent vocal music. Through their arrangements and harmonies they have made their works agreeable to the modern ear and attention span.

Sea shanties were written by sailors in the days of tall ships as rhythmic devices to ensure that gangs of men working together to pull ropes, pump bilges or raise the anchor all kept in step with one another.
The songs are all rich in harmony and dynamically bring the listener into the world of pirates, adventure and romance.
Sea shanties are sometimes called sea chanties. The singular is sea shanty or sea chanty.
