Although the origins of the traditional sailors’ sea shanty have been lost in the midst of time, they can be traced to at least the mid-1400s through the days of the old merchant ‘tall’ sailing ships. Sea Shanties with Seán is a lively evening that will bring the audience together for a community experience of singing and hollering! For the first half of the evening, Seán Dagher will perform some of the most popular shanties accompanied by his Irish bouzouki. After a short intermission, Seán will give the audience a quick glimpse into the world of shanties then teach everyone the refrains and choruses for a few songs so everyone can join in. No previous shanty-singing experience is necessary. And “bad singers” are welcome – even necessary! Seán is a folk singer and multi-instrumentalist from Montreal. Join us Heave-away!
