Overview
Sophie Schleicher is a shanty singer based in the renowned port town of Denver, Colorado. In 2016, they started their YouTube channel Sunday Sea Songs as a personal project to explore their interest in the vast and varied body of maritime music. Their debut album of the same name was released in November of 2022. They co-host a weekly zoom shanty singaround and a monthly in-person singaround. While primarily an unaccompanied singer, Sophie also makes and plays rhythm bones and is a budding squeezeboxer.
“It is, however, Sophie’s unadorned voice, sometimes double tracked for harmonies, that makes this album shine […] Sophie’s voice and her musical choices deliver a creditable debut album and I think could easily migrate into non-maritime folk singing to all our benefit.”
