CD $15.00This is the latest addition to David’s growing collection of Maritime songs. What makes this project different from his last Maritime CD is there is a real mix of traditional and contemporary songs. There are also two commissioned works that David has written commemorating the 150th anniversary of the construction of two Boston built Clipper Ships. David is especially excited about the new collaboration with Texas-based ‘cellist, Max Dyer. And of course the continued partnership with Kent Allyn and David Surette. Special appearance by the CedarHouse Boys is a rather inviting addition. All of these songs tell a story about a time in history to which David feels a direct connection. As a Maritime educator performing in schools David is constantly looking for “gems” that bring the history to life. Here is just a sampling. I hope you enjoy it. Please feel free to email me with questions and/or comments. dcoffin@davidcoffin.com www.davidcoffin.com

It features a mix of traditional and contemporary material from a variety of sea topics including whaling, fishing, pirating, wrecks, reflection, death and coming home.

Several of these songs also appear in the Boston-by-Sea show that David is working on as Music Director and is currently perfoming on a regular basis. (see his homepage)”The Nantucket Sleighride” features Kent Allyn on piano, guitar and fretless bass; Lissa Schneckenberger on fiddle, with David Surette and Bill Smith playing additional guitars, and Ellen Epstein on vocals.

This song really stirred me! I have been rather numb emotionally since I lost both my mom and my fiancée during the pandemic. Also, there is a history of piracy in my family! Keep it up!! We need this right now in our country!!

This is by far my favorite version of this shanty. I’ve listened to it 30 times over the past few days on Tidal streaming. David’s strong vocals are carried aloft with a chorus of harmonies and echoes. I absolutely love it.
