Chantey Sing with the Whateverly Brothers
Chantey Sing
with the Whateverly Brothers
The Whateverly Brothers will lead the Chantey Sing and will usher in the summer with maritime music. This madcap band features none other than Dan Roberts, Chris Glanister, and Matthew Moeller. The Bros are well-versed in chanteys but also change up original and other maritime songs to fun-pitched level. It was Dan Roberts who restarted the Chantey Sings in 2000 and Matthew kept it rolling later on. Chris is also a sound guru supporting many maritime music events. You never know what kind of rollicking ruckus these guys will dredge up — maybe even a song about the world’s largest clam!
This family-friendly event is led by a chantey-man (or woman), and you — the audience — sings the chorus or leads a song. The call-and-response form of these sea-going work songs makes them easy to learn and fun to sing.
