I sometimes perform Irish pub songs, sea shanties, and other songs of my misspent youth.
For years, I led the Olympic Peninsula quartet Discovery Bay Pirates, and we built up a nice audience of diddly-diddly singing regulars. Alas, our main venue stopped hosting live music, and we couldn’t find another home. So that was that.
Over the years, I’ve performed this material as a soloist and with duos/trios, at events around the area, and also down in Ocean Shores. I love singing the great folk music of Tommy Makem, the Dubliners, the Clancy Brothers, Stan Rogers, Colm Gallagher, Gordon Bok, Ewan McColl, and the many other exponents of Irish, Scottish, British, Canadian, US, and other beer-drinking music.
I still hope to find a way to get back to my Trevor the Shantyman persona.
