Great Big Sea in a little bitty duo! "Ship-Kickin' Music!" The way the Rogues Gallery CD should have sounded!
William & Felicia specialize in songs of the sea -- sea shanties and other songs of a nautical nature both traditional and contemporary. Is it "Pirate Music"? There's a bit of pirate music in there as well -- worth an "ARRRRRGH" or two! Call it "Ship-Kickin' Music" if you will. Their approach to this maritime music is more modern and high energy than the traditional a cappella style of shanty singing.
Felicia uses the ancient hurdy-gurdy or vielle-a-roue and the Irish tin whistle to great effect -- as a melody instrument or invoking sounds like electric guitars, cello, bagpipe, or brass to acompany songs.
William's guitar and octave mandolin work sets the songs to driving rhythms or delicate delicate back-up.
Great vocal harmonies round out their big energetic sound.
Some of our CDs available on CD Baby!

Have a great gig guys. I've never been to Tacoma but my family hosted some gals from there, back in 1988 in an international school orchestra exchange. I haven't forgotten their names or their faces actually. Kristi Gisti and Kristi Larcomb... I wonder what's happened to them!? Sending you heaps of love.
