Bio
The Chanteymen is a musical ensemble based out of Marquette Michigan in the isolated, frequently chilly Upper Peninsula. It is the words and chords of Christopher Lander Moore, interpreted through a collection of close friends. The music started as recordings made on a laptop, and was initially shared with close friends who were usually far away. The name is a reference and homage to the songs of sailors. It is pronounced with a hard "ch", like "chicken" or "children". (You'd put this in your bio too if your own mother kept saying "the Shhhhanteymen".) The sounds have been described as "folk", "folk-punk", "alt-folk", "nu-folk", "folk?", "pop", and "rock", and compared to artists such as Andrew Bird, Sigur Ros, The Mountain Goats, Leonard Cohen, and The Misfits. I don't know how anyone gets the Misfits outta this, that's just what they tell me. You're encouraged to draw your own conclusions. To date, we have released an album and an EP, both on Grand Rapids MI's "SELF-SATISFIED" label. Future plans include more music, more shows, and eventually starting some kind of cult. If you would like us to come play for you, or you know where we can get sweet robes for cheap, please contact us.
