The Motley Tones washed
ashore at the Blackbeard
Festival in Hampton, VA in 2010
and have been entertaining
crowds ever since. Helped by
friends and fans, they are now
the region’s most popular pirate
performing group, entertaining
adults and children alike with
their unique blend of classical
and oft-times amusing sea
shanties. They are known throughout the mid-Atlantic region
both for their highly interactive street shows as well as their
enthusiastic stage shows. This dynamic group sings madrigals
for the king by day, pub songs for the hoi polloi by night, and
love songs and sailor songs all the day long.
Their music ranges from acapella harmonies to traditional “call
and response” tunes to duets, solo ballads and parodies of
popular tunes. All loosely tied to the “Golden Age of Piracy.”
In live performance, they incorporate pieces of period garb and
stories into their performance as well as just plain fun stuff.
