Salty Sirens & Day of Embers - a Folk & Shanty singalong in the Heart of the Hinterland
Event description
Roll on up to Mapleton Public House - ocean views from the heart of the Hinterland - for a night of sea shanty sing-alongs, raucous tales of misadventure, love conquering the shadows and the magic of folklore with dear friends, the Salty Sirens & Day of Embers!
Lovers of swell sea shanties and rollicking singalongs, The Salty Sirens are Kristy Capstanfield (vocals and accordion) and Elyse Fishpatrick (vocals and whale facts). Throughout 2024, they rocked boats the country wide with their flavour of sea shanties, SHE shanties and sea songs with a modern, queer twist, and now these sapphic sailors are sailing into Mapleton to lead you on a musical journey through traditional and modern nautical folk song, tales of shipwork, daring adventure, defiance and debauchery on the high seas. Hoist the anchor and limber up those sealegs - these really aren't your grandpa's sea shanties!
Born of love, myth and traditional folklore, Day of Embers is a duo of Celtic and global seafaring rhythms interlaced with age-old family tales of love, survival and justice. Combining the multi-instrumental talents of singer-songwriters, Welshman Daryl James, and Dawn, a bewitching vocalist of Canadian, Irish and Indian descent, Day of Embers weaves spectacular harmonies with banjo, mandolin, slide guitar, piano and accordion.
Sea ye there!
