Pirates for Sail + Band in Baltimore, MD

SEEKING

ABOUT

Pirates for Sail performs traditional maritime, Celtic, and English folk music: sea chanteys, songs of the sea and sailing, Celtic ballads, Irish and English drinking songs and pub tunes. We occasionally do more contemporary music from folk singers such as Stan Rogers and Tom Lewis, and sometimes even contemporary pop tunes that are rooted in the traditions of the music that makes up the bulk of our playlist.

We perform at pirate-themed festivals and private parties in the mid-Atlantic region (Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, New York) dressed in historically accurate garb for the Golden Age of Piracy (1690-1730). We have recorded three CDs.
