Roll & Go is a collective of men and women who love to sing sea shanties and other songs of the sea. Most of the members met each other through the Portland Folk Club. Over the past twelve years their spirited performances have earned them a growing reputation among festival and concert goers in Maine's midcoast area. Singing mostly unaccompanied, they combine strong solo work with tight harmonies on the refrain and chorus. Some songs are backed up by banjo, guitar, concertina or penny whistle.

With Roll & Go you'll hear the old songs brought back to life, and some newer songs that highlight current conditions in our merchant marine and fishing industry. Whether you're young or old, you're bound to have a lot of fun!

Selected Comments

"I don't know of another sea-music group in the U.S. today who are putting forth so much effort and energy to polish their craft. And they do so while preserving the sailor's understanding of working songs of the sea: tempos are slow and methodical, the singing lusty and the harmonies spare. This is surely the way the shellbacks sang, outward bound from Boston and 'Frisco for the distant seaports of the Seven Seas." Bob Webb – Folkhistorian, Curator & Shantysinger

"Roll & Go brings to life the songs of those who sailed the Seven Seas, and does so with great spirit and energy." Bill Bonyun – Folklorist & Folksinger

"From robust shanties to haunting fo'c'sle ballads, to songs by and about today's sailors, Roll & Go sings with good humor and heartfelt energy. I was also impressed by the group's truly deep interest in sea music and nautical subjects. Cheers and Fair Winds to Roll & Go!" Don Sineti – Marine Artist & Shantyman
