  • Spotlight Song #2: Barrett's Privateers (and Other Sea Shanties)
    Feb 1 2021

    Big thanks go out to Canadian folk music icon Garnet Rogers. He kindly shared with us some amazing stories and fantastic music recommendations. Go to his website to purchase his memoir Night Drive: Travels with My Brother about his time on the road with Stan and check out his music on his website, or wherever you get your tunes. 

    Thanks also to Sam Pope, ShantyTok leading light, and lead vocals on The Wellerman’s Official TikTok version of, well, The Wellerman. He gave us great insight into the current sea shanty phenomenon and was extremely charming and generous with his time. Find him on TikTok (of course), YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and wherever you get your tunes.

    Thanks, as always, to our unofficial co-producer, Aaron P.

    Just FYI: There's a bit of salty language in this ep, which makes sense when you think about it.
