Whiskey Bay Rovers, The

Hailing from Lafayette, Louisiana, The Whiskey Bay Rovers are Louisiana’s first and only pirate band. Specializing in drinking songs, sea chanteys, ballads, and traditional Irish pub songs, the Rovers bring their mixed musical backgrounds to the stage in an effort to preserve the songs of a bygone era, bringing new ones to life as well as often putting a new spin on the old ones. Employing many a cappella arrangements with up to six part harmonies while using instrumental accompaniment of guitar, penny whistles, mandolin, drums, and recorder on others, the Whiskey Bay Rovers provide a variety of song styles to quench your thirst for the sea. Besides, drinking too much salt water is bad for you anyway.

The Rovers are available for festivals, faires, pub sings, and private parties and can come either in pirate garb or not.
