Sea Music Festival 2019 @ Mystic Seaport Museum

Mystic Seaport Museum will host its 40th annual Sea Music Festival June 6-9, featuring concerts, workshops, hands-on demonstrations, and a scholarly symposium – all celebrating the music of the sea. From songs of the golden age of sail to contemporary compositions, the festival includes a wide variety of sea music both modern and traditional, a children’s stage with special performances for families, and demonstrations of maritime work songs – or chanteys – aboard the Museum’s historic vessels.

As a premier sea-music event, performers come from around the world and across the United States to perform at the festival. This year’s highlights include the music of Ron and Natalie Daise (the duo behind the music of the Nickelodeon TV show “Gullah Gullah Island”), Cliff Haslam, The Johnson Girls, The Rum-Soaked Crooks, The Rix, Between Two Thorns, and 19 other individuals and groups. They will be joined by the Mystic Seaport Museum Chantey Staff, including Geoff Kaufman, Craig Edwards, Don Sineti, David Littlefield, Marc Bernier, Chris Koldeway, Denise Kegler, Barry Keenan, Jesse Edwards, Anayis Wright, Chris Maden, Johann Heupel, B.J. Whitehouse, and Genevieve Corbiere.
