SUMMER CONCERT SERIES: PINT & DALE

Free admission, suggested $10 donation for traveling expenses

Seattle-based duo William Pint and Felicia Dale bring their songs of the high seas to the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum's summer concert series.

Whether they sing contemporary maritime songs or the traditional work chanteys sung aboard the tall ships to organize the labor of the crew, Pint and Dale will capture your imagination with their bold rhythms and energetic harmonies. Culled from music of the English, Irish, German, French and West Indian traditions,the duo brings together themes that unite the seafaring nations and continue to inspire sailors today. Anyone who thinks sea music means "Haul Away Joe" sung slightly off key to the reedy strains of a concertina is in for a revelation when Pint and Dale hoist sail and set their course.

Drawing on several cultures, Pint and Dale perform traditional and modern music and songs reflecting the immense vitality of those who live and work on the sea. Their music fits into the world of modern folk, rock and popular song, bit it's rich with the mth, narrative, rhythm, rhyme and lyric associated with the days of the tall ships. Incorporating guitar, hurd-gurdy, fiddle, whistle and mandolin into their presentations, Pint and Dale produce an intriguing mix of sounds resulting in an unusual approach to this traditional genre.
