Sea Music
"We are crew, not passengers." (Outward Bound) Lynn braids together working chanteys from the age of sail, flowing ballads of love and loss at sea, and environmental education in marine ecology. Once a month, she leads the MIT Chantey Sing with cocaptain David Kessler.
From 2000-2004, Lynn was captain and stage manager for the Boston Folk Festival Chanteyboat. Think of the Chanteyboat as a dance stage for singers. Your crew of experienced "chantey callers" heads out on the waves, in the wind, to get YOU singing. In the tradition of legendary chanteyman and Outward Bound boatswain Stan Hugill, our goal as leaders is to unite each Chanteyboat in working song, as a direct experience of Boston Harbor and our New England maritime heritage.
