This talented vocal group, wearing seafaring costumes, sings richly harmonic versions of maritime songs.
Their shows are filled with spirit, humor, and harmony. Their arrangements of traditional nautical music bring the listener into the world of pirates, adventure, and romance.
The members of Bounding Main are music and theater veterans with diverse entertainment backgrounds. They have performed at music festivals, nautical festivals, major tall ship events, maritime museums, renaissance faires, folk music venues, and corporate events on both sides of the Atlantic.
Commenting on their album "About Going Overboard," Bonnie Griner of Celtophilia.com, wrote, "One of the best acapella albums I have ever heard. I kid you not, there were several occasions when I was covered in goose bumps from the sheer marvelousness of the sounds." From US News & World Report came this appraisal of their music, "It's listenable, unique, and fun." To learn more about the Bounding Main, go to www.boundingmain.com.
