Performers

Opland Freeman
Tania Opland & Mike Freeman are the world’s leading purveyors of “Anglo-Alaskan acoustic world music.” They perform Songs and tunes from or inspired by americana, eurofolk, early music, and global influences. They sing and play their wide-ranging repertoire with more instruments than any sane duo would travel with – hammered dulcimer, violin, hurdy-gurdy, clárseach (Celtic harp), recorder, guitar, djembe, and whatever else can be squeezed into the car.

Tim Hall
Tim has a talent for words and finding songs with lots of them! He sings, plays guitar, banjo, and concertina so well you’ll forget that he’s doing anything compicated and just enjoy his loving, humorous, and oftentimes Tin-Pan-Alley-esque repertoire


Strikes A Bell

Strikes A Bell
Strikes A Bell sings sea chanteys and maritime music. Based in Seattle, Washington, Strikes A Bell is regularly seen and heard at the monthly Northwest Seaport Chantey Sing, Northwest Folklife Festival, Tumbleweed Music Festival, Port Gamble Maritime Music Festival, Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival, and other maritime events around the Puget Sound area.
