The revival of the sea shanty genre thanks to TikTok is truly one of the strangest success stories of our time. It’s this viral trend that the Shanties Choir (directed by Alex Morris of the Shania Choir fame) are leaning into for Streaming Seamen.
For those unawares, sea shanties are having a moment right now thanks to the trend of singing them – most notably the song 'Wellerman' – on TikTok.
The on-demand event hauls sea shanties from the briny deep back into pop culture – oh, they’ll be performing traditional sea shanties all right, but as set to contemporary pop tracks. BYO rum and Breton stripes when you stream this on-demand show from October 14 to 17.
