Chris Koldewey
has been singing and playing folk music, and sea music in particular,
since he was a teenager. He comes from a family rich in maritime
traditions, and his lullabies as a child were traditional songs of the
sea. Raised on the North Shore of Long Island, he was exposed to a wide
variety of folk music. A public school music teacher by trade, Chris
spends his “free time” as a Shantyman at Mystic Seaport Museum in
Connecticut: one of the few places left where shanties are used for
their original purpose — coordinating shipboard tasks. Chris plays
guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, concertina, and other things common to
an average garage sale.
