sings "a cappella" and is dedicated to preserving and
promoting songs of the sea. Many of these, such as short or long haul
shanties,
were working songs, designed to help sailors perform repetitive and
arduous
tasks as they sailed around the world. “Before the Mast’s”
repertoire also includes songs by modern composers and some better
known
shanties are sung for the audience to sing along. In keeping with
the
nautical theme, a small treat of salt water taffy will be
provided by
