Gonna be rocking this here joint for a couple hours starting round 8pm. Can’t wait to be back in ol’ Blighty with Mark & Mike! Will miss sharing a stage with @bravetheseaband , but it sure was great seeing them last weekend in Delaware. See ya in the pints!

Couple notches past stoked to be joining our friends @thesaltwatervagabond & @historiclewes in Delaware this weekend for version 2.0 of one of the raddest festivals we played last year. In the world of maritime music, main stage lineups simply don’t come much better than this: @thedreadnoughts @seandagher1 @mydruthers @susquehanna_shantymen The Johnson Girls I heard tell they’ve already sold over 500 tickets. Not sure what the limit is but don’t sleep on this on y’all. See ya there!

Coming up soon. The return of My Druthers from New England, USA. Songs of the sea, ballads of rebellion! with the fecking marvelous Missing The Ferry as well making it a gig you'll not want to miss. Friday 12 June at The Cock Tavern, 23 Phoenix Rd, London NW1 1HB. Perfectly situated at the back of Euston station. Admission is free but you'll have a chance to make a donation. Music is from 8 to 11. See you at the bar for one of the nicest (and cheapest) pints of Guinness in County London. Facebook event - /events/949838707957082/

Holy hell thanks so much to everyone who came out to see us at @strangebrewpub on Fri w/ our boys @noneofussaints . Norwich you came correct! That show was AWESOME.

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Brace yourselves for the first ever SEA SHANTY NIGHT at Strange Brew Pub in Norwich, Connecticut! Stoked to be sharing a stage with our brothers @noneofussaints . @charlie_sad_eyes and I are fresh off a pretty big high seeing @cocksparrer in Boston last Saturday. DAMN, that shit was amazing. We’ve decided to roll the dice & head inland a spell for this next shanty endeavor. Come to think of it, I believe this will be our first official Sea Shanty Night that hasn’t been within a stone’s throw of the actual sea. So we’ll see what you land lubbers are made of in Norwich CT on Friday, May 1st at @strangebrewpub . Let’s sing some songs and have some fun. As @charlie likes to say, we’ll be “Playing all your favorite hits from the 1800’s.” See ya in the pints!

In my opinion, maritime music lineups simply do not get any better than this. My Druthers are sharing a stage in Lewes, Delaware next month with 4 groups who are quite possibly our top 4 absolute favorites of the genre. Shit you not, look at this main stage: The Dreadnoughts @thedreadnoughts Sean Dagher @seandagher1 My Druthers @mydruthers Susquehanna Shantymen @susquehanna_shantymen The Johnson Girls Feel like I’ve died and gone to Fiddler’s Green. Florida John Grimaldi @johngrimaldi77 is even gonna join us for this one. Pints up! She’s gonna be a scorcher. Get your tickets early at

SEA SHANTY NIGHT IS BACK - WEDNESDAY MAY 27 FEATURING JACKSON GILLMAN & MY DRUTHERS ADVANCED TICKETS AVAILABLE AT . . . . . . . . . #newhaven #connecticut #fyp #seashanty #livemusic

Wanted to say how grateful we are to @jesseahernmusic , @vince.cayo.music , @bostonharbordistil , & @33goldenstreet . The double shot of shows this past weekend was one of those reminders of why it is we do what we do, what we’re all about: community, camaraderie, and strength through music. Every now & again you get a show like the one we had at Boston Harbor Distillery in Dorchester on Saturday and you realize how special this whole thing is, and how lucky you are to be a part of it. People like Jesse & Vince are real…they actually exist. They sing, they inspire, they fuckin mean it, and you get to call them friends. We’re not alone in this thing, not the only ones left standing. Then the punkest and most Boston shit ever happens when Ken Casey from @dropkickmurphys shows up, watches your whole set, buys a record & a t-shirt, and you think to yourself, “Yeah, I don’t want to live this life any other way.” #30yearsapunk #truebelievers and HAPPY BIRTHDAY VINCE!!!
