Mariide, leader
Mariide, known for her performance teaching of maritime history and lore for schools and museums, has one of the most powerful and saltiest voices around. Mariide’s musical roots are in the 1960s Seattle folk scene, and she has been one of the mainstays of the Northwest maritime music scene ever since. She was the founder of St. Elmo’s Choir, and was one of the original members of the Victory Sings at Sea group. In 1966 she became the open-mic host at the Last Exit, a happening that set the benchmark for Seattle open mics. A longstanding social justice and environmental activist, she is known for her witty songwriting on political and social themes.

Mike & Val James, leaders
Mike and Val hail from the Port Townsend music scene where they are the foundation of maritime music happenings. They perform individually and as a couple in genres ranging from jazz, children’s music, inspirational, and of course, sea chanteys. Mike and Val have been in chantey bands such as Nelson’s Blood, Victory Sings at Sea, and Constellation’s Crew. With a tender song on the guitar or a rollicking halyard chantey, they will certainly keep the sing-along a-going along.
