your Grandpa's Sea Shanties: Bounding Main Releases Second CD, Lost =
at Sea
=20
Milwaukee, WI -- January 23, 2006 - The popular maritime-themed vocal =
group, Bounding Main, announced the release of its latest CD, Lost at =
Sea. This independent recording features fourteen traditional nautical =
songs performed in the theatrical, harmony-rich style that has become =
their signature sound.
=20
Lost at Sea features two songs that include environmental sounds as well =
as music. "We chose to not have instrumental accompaniment on this CD," =
said Maggie Hannington, who leads in "High Barbaree," "because we =
normally perform a capella. The tracks that have sound effects were our =
attempt to guide the audience to the setting from which these songs =
originated."=20
=20
"When we came together in January 2003 none of us dreamed Bounding Main =
would become as popular as it has," said Dean Calin, one of the three =
male singers in the ***tet, and who leads in "Randy Dandy O" on Lost at =
Sea. "We perform at fairs, festivals and museums from St. Louis to =
Door County. At a church in Omaha, Nebraska someone even recognized the =
twins, Christie and Gina Dalby, during a wedding rehearsal. 'Your =
group rocked!' they said." Christie leads in "Herzogin Cecile" and Gina =
leads in both "Northwest Passage" and "The Dreadnaught."
=20
"We recently performed for the second time on "Higher Ground" on =
Wisconsin Public Radio," said David Yondorf, who leads on "Haul Away =
Joe." "The host, Jonathan Overby, asked us to join them again for their =
600th show. It was quite an honor to return to that venue." =20
=20
Many of their songs are classified as "sea shanties". Sea shanties were =
tunes sung by sailors on tall ****ps to provide rhythm to labor-intensive =
tasks such as winding up the anchor chain, raising sails or pumping =
water out of the hold. Knowing that other groups perform these songs in =
an exacting, traditional manner, Bounding Main chose to give the songs a =
more contem****ary sound, adding harmonies and depth, women's voices and =
a more theatrical performance.
=20
Music director Jon Krivitzky, who leads in "Bully in the Alley", said, =
"We take pride in finding new and inventive ways to interpret and =
perform these songs in such a way that everyone can enjoy them." He =
added, "Our first CD, Maiden Voyage, was reprinted four times, so we =
knew our audience wanted more of the kind of music we offered."
=20
"People come up to us after a show and tell us that it looks like we =
have so much fun on stage," said Christie Dalby. "I tell them 'we are!' =
It is the most enjoyment I've ever had with a performing group."
=20
As independent artists their recordings are self-produced, but having =
partnered with CDBaby (www.cdbaby.com) they have enjoyed world-wide =
distribution through the sale of their CDs and, im****tantly, through =
digital distribution. Gina Dalby said, "We are seeing our music =
purchased through resellers such as MSN Music, MusicNet and iTunes - =
domestically as well as iTunes UK, iTunes Europe and iTunes Canada. =
CDBaby just partnered with Best Buy's online music store to offer our =
music through their ****tal as well."
