As the city of Fernandina Beach geared up to commemorate its bicentennial on January 1, 2025, we were thrilled to be part of the festivities with Songs of the Sea. 

Anchored in melody, this concert delved into the fun world of sea shanties! Audiences set sail with members from the Galway Girls, a multi-instrumental band known for their harmonies and memorable arrangements as they performed enthralling renditions of pirate songs, sea shanties, and even a sprinkling of opera! Joining the Galway Girls on multiple instruments were musicians John Dutton and Martin Landry. 

 

Sharing the stage was local historian Dr. Jonathan Bryant, who spun tales of captivating pirate lore, and impersonator John Drew. These two helped bring to life the legends that have shaped this coastal community.
