SEA SHANTY NIGHT with O'Ferfun

  • Copper Trail Brewing Co. 205 Broadway Street Alexandria, MN, 56308 United States (map)

What shall we do with a drunken sailor? Sing about it, of course!

Join Alexandria’s own O’Ferfun for a night of song-singing and table-thumping as they present a night of sea shanties, pirate ballads, Irish tunes, and more! Singalongs are encouraged, as is dressing up for the occasion, and the band will be more than happy to teach you the words.

This event is all-ages and free to attend, and bound to be a great time!

From the band:

O’Ferfun, a Celtic music ensemble from West Central Minnesota, is based on the session bands that have performed regularly for generations in pubs throughout Ireland. Using traditional instruments like accordion, banjo, bodhran, fiddle, guitar, and penny whistle, the group are all vocalists and feature three- or four-part vocals, often a capella. Band members come from a variety of musical background, and each brings a unique take on traditional and newer music.

You can look forward to hearing a wide variety of music, from Tell Me Ma, Wild Rover, Go Lassie Go, Molly Malone, and shanties The Wellerman, Drunken Sailor, Bully in the Alley, to Sloop John B, Brown Eyed Girl, Banana Boat Song, and more. These guys aren’t afraid to try anything, and you never know what you may hear!
