An Evening of Maritime Music from the Chesapeake Bay and Beyond

Chesapeake maven Janie Meneely and traditional balladeer
Rob van Sante join forces for an evening of maritime
music from the Bay and Beyond. Commonly seen playing with
the likes of Alan Reid (of The Battlefield Band) or John Connolly (who penned Fiddlers Green), Rob adds his virtuoso guitar to the array of Janies originals, while Janie adds vocal harmonies to Robs traditional ballads.

Janie has been singing about the Chesapeake for going on
(gasp!) 30 years now, chronicling Bay history or poking fun at sailors traditions. The death of her husband two years ago left her without a musical partner, so this collaboration heralds the start of something new. www.janiemeneely.com.

Dutch-born Rob is a guitarist of skill and subtlety. His mother was a child prodigy on piano, so its no surprise that music has played an important part in his life. During the 1970s, 80s and 90s he toured extensively throughout Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, working with such stalwarts of the British Folk and Jazz scene as Danny Thompson, Jon Strong, Tom Napper, Tom McConville, Kate Rusby, John McCusker . . . the list goes on. www.reidvansante.com

Both are delighted to bring you a few hours of maritime music, merriment and mayhem, and invite you to sing along.
