Join tall ship captain, shanty singer, and educator Tom Kastle for a rousing workshop on the unlikely fad of Sea Shanty singing. Tom toured from the Netherlands to New Zealand and taught the shanty class at Old Town School years before the current online craze. He will give an overview of shanties, how they are used aboard ship, and how they fit into Chicago’s very real maritime history. Tom will teach you easy to learn shanties to sing together and go over ways to make these tunes your own and to improvise words and ideas. This is a great workshop to learn more about shanty singing whether you are a novice or aficionado. This workshop will be in person and online. Attendees can join in person at 4545 N Lincoln Ave or online through Zoom.
