Bay City Tall Ship Celebration — Bay City, Michigan – July
11-14, 2013
Bounding Main is delighted to announce that it has booked the first of
its Great Lakes Challenge gigs. Every three or four years twenty or
more tall ships from all over the world congregate on the Great Lakes,
making a tour of important port cities. Bay City holds a festival that
we're very excited to entertain at with a new audience and several
wonderful fellow musical groups that will also be entertaining there.
Music has always been a big part of life aboard a working tall ship and
so it is that music has always been a big part of Tall Ship Celebration,
the nationally-acclaimed maritime festival that will return to Downtown
Bay City on July 11th. In addition to the twelve tall ships visiting Bay
City, nine musical groups will travel from as far away as Poland to
participate in the international Maritime Music Festival, an event
within the event. From July 12 through 14, professional maritime
musicians will alternate performances on two stages, one in Wenonah Park
and one in Veterans Memorial Park. Performances will occur during the
time the festival is open from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. each day.
There is no additional cost to enjoy these talented musicians. Once
guests have paid the Admission fee of $8.00 per day, most activities
including the International Maritime Music Festival, are available at no
additional charge.
Sponsorship from SC Johnson supports the appearance of participating
musicians especially those traveling from Europe like Banana Boat from
Poland, Armstrong’s Patent and Nanna & Ankie from The Netherlands, Mâles
de Mer from Belgium and Warp4 from Ireland. Participating musicians from
the US include: Bounding Main from Chicago, Illinois; The Hardtackers
from Columbus, Ohio; Bocca Musica from Michigan; and Bay City’s own
Hoolie.
When the festival closes at 5:00 p.m. Friday—Sunday, July 12—14, the
Tall Ship Celebration shanty musicians can be heard in a new
entertainment venue “The Quarterdeck.” Located within the festival
grounds in Veterans Memorial Park, patrons of the The Quarterdeck will
also enjoy Michigan craft-brewed beers and wines each evening until
11:00 p.m., 10:00 p.m. on Sunday. There will be a $5.00 per person
coverage charge to enter The Quarterdeck which is waived for those
guests who have purchased a Souvenir Passport. [Download the press

Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennial Reenactment — Put-in-Bay, OH — August
30-September 1, 2013
 In
September of 1813, during the War of 1812, Oliver Hazard Perry of the
U.S. Navy and his crew of 557 brave patriots prevailed over the British
fleet in the Battle of Lake Erie near Put-in-Bay, Ohio. Two hundred
years years later, we will come together to celebrate Perry's victory,
our nation's sovereignty and the enduring peace between nations. As
caretakers of our freedom, we are called to bear witness to history in
our own special way. The torch has been passed to our generation, who
enjoys the great bounties of Lake Erie that were secured forever by
Perry and those who came before us.
Please join Bounding Main for this historic observance at the
beginning of one of the largest celebrations in the history of Lake Erie
and the Western Basin. We will be bringing our historical maritime
music to this event for three full days. And if you want to stay
for Labor Day, September 2, 2013 YOU can stand in their place and honor
their service as crew members on one of the American Tall Ships Vessels
commemorating this historic battle.
