A SPECIAL MUSIC EVENT – SONGS OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY
Monday, September 26, at Seamen’s.
Music starts at 7:00 pm, doors open at 6:30 pm
$5.00 donation requested at the door.
The music of cruising sailor/songwriter/raconteur Janie Meneely celebrates the people and places of Chesapeake Bay. She and partner Paul DiBlasi, who call themselves “Calico Jack” when they take the stage, captivate audiences with their evocative imagery and spot-on sense of Bay characters and traditions. Their songs echo the stories of the watermen and their communities and provide glimpses into Bay history and legend.
Paul DiBlassi was a long-time performer with the colorful Pyrates Royale, a mainstay of the Maryland Renaissance Festival near Annapolis, Md. His strong guitar work and powerful vocals give voice to much of Meneely’s material. He adds a sprinkling of classic work songs and ballads to Meneely’s mix of originals, broadening their scope to include music of the seven seas.
