The Highwaymen - Songs & Stories with Matt York
Longtime New England musician/author Matt York will perform the songs of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings and tell stories of their careers. He'll be accompanied by fiddler Angelica Vendetti. The four songwriting legends joined forces in the 1980's to form the country supergroup The Highwaymen. However, prior to that, they'd each established themselves as stars and their careers intersected many times since the 1960's. York has twice been nominated for the Boston Music Award for Best Country Artist and he recently released his second book, The Words and Wisdom of Willie Nelson. Matt York - Songs & Stories

New Bedford Sea Chantey Chorus
The New Bedford Harbor Sea Chantey Chorus sings sea chanties and other maritime music. It was founded in 2001 as a volunteer activity of the Schooner Ernestina, now ISSV Ernestina-Morrissey. This year’s program celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by focusing on three corners of colonial era, maritime trade: New England, Jolly Old England, and the Caribbean. Come explore sugar, rum, roast beef, carousing, privateering, and the Pacific and whaling voyages that followed the Revolution..
What It Is
The New Bedford Harbor Sea Chantey Chorus is a non‑audition, community‑based group singing traditional maritime “sea chanteys” and related songs, active since 2001 and based in New Bedford, MA. Formed in 2001 by Tom Goix and Polly Zajac, the chorus is one of the oldest active sea music groups on the East Coast. It has about 30 members of varied backgrounds and skill levels, and it performs without formal auditions. The group’s repertoire is rooted in sea chanteys—songs historically sung on ships to coordinate work like raising sails or anchors, often with repetitive, call‑and‑response patterns.
Tickets are $15.00 advance / $20 cash at the door
