About the Shanty Krewe
Bio for the N O Quarter Shantey Krewe
New Orleans, Louisiana
October 2013
Formed in 2002, the N O Quarter Shantey Krewe is a group of sea music enthusiasts from the New Orleans area. Each member of the Krewe sings from the heart in a style that once rang out over the docks and wharves of a port city such as New Orleans. Singing songs of the sea, songs of the rolling river, songs of the heart and the spirit—all of these are in the Shantey Krewe’s song locker. Ancient ballads, work songs, and songs of love; touching love songs, songs of people challenging adversity, life’s humorous glimpses, and insights into history—all of these are all parts of a N O Quarter Shantey Krewe performance.
The ten person group sings in a rousing a cappella style occasionally with musical instruments on some sections. Each song, sung with a nautical flair and an invitation for the audience to sing along on a chorus, clap in time or just stamp their feet to the music. Led my master Shantey Man, K.C. King formerly of The Boarding Party, the Krewe has a repertoire as deep as the deep blue sea and set lists to delight one and all. The music has meaning for all of us in this unique area.
