September Sea Music Month around here starts with our monthly shanty, forebitter and fo'c's'le ballad session this Saturday, September 17th, from 3:30 to 7:30 PM at The Press Room on Daniel Street in Portsmouth, NH.

This will be a great opportunity to warm up for the 17th Annual Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival which will be the last weekend of the month, September 24th & 25th. More info here including the schedule for this year's festival -- 2016 PMFF

Nick Noble on WICN in Worcester is devoting most of this Thursday's (September 15th) "The Folk Revival" show to a live session (or as close to a session as we can recreate in the studio) promoting the PMFF. The show is from 7:00 - 11:00 PM Eastern time and can be listened to online by going to -- "The Folk Revival" and click on "Listen Live Online" and choose MP3 or iTunes.

Hope we see you there, both at Saturday's shanty sing and at the festival!
