Maritime Music at the Ballard Branch Library

FREE CONCERT! Libraries are for books, community, history… and sea chanteys! We’re bringing the acclaimed international duo Tania Opland and Mike Freeman to the library to give a Sunday afternoon concert. Come and listen and even sing along! Tania Opland & Mike Freeman are the world’s leading purveyors of “Anglo-Alaskan acoustic world music,” performing songs and tunes from or inspired by americana, eurofolk, early music, and global influences. They sing and play their wide-ranging repertoire with more instruments than any sane duo would travel with – hammered dulcimer, violin, hurdy-gurdy, clárseach (wire-strung harp), recorder, guitar, djembe, and whatever else can be squeezed into the car.
