Everyone is welcome to sing along or enjoy listening when the Rowayton Arts Center hosts its monthly Open Chantey Sing in the main floor gallery, where a new exhibition of varied artwork is on view each month. The $5 donation includes refreshments.
This musical celebration of nautical and maritime history is led by Deirdre Murtha of The Johnson Girls, her husband Sean and special guests from New York and throughout Connecticut.
Murtha and her three partners in The Johnson Girls have been performing chanteys (sailors' work songs) and traditional and contemporary maritime songs from many cultures for 14 years in both the United States and Europe.
