Enjoy folk singer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Koldewey who presents an informative concert of traditional Shanties (sailor’s work songs) and Forebitters (Ballads) from our maritime past. He will take you on a journey, virtually, out to sea as our forbearers did in the 19th and early 20th centuries. You will hear the shanties and see the shipboard jobs for which they were used, as well as the stories and lore of our connection to the sea. Chris will give a taste of what life out at sea might have sounded like on deck, and below. Chris was born and raised in Port Washington and has been singing folk music and sea music in particular since his early teens.
