Ahoy, Mates!
Bounding Main is a maritime-themed a cappella vocal group that sings richly harmonic versions of traditional songs. Their shows are filled with spirit, humor and harmony; their arrangements of traditional and contemporary nautical music bring the listener into the world of pirates, adventure and romance.
Each member of Bounding Main — Dean Calin, Christie Dalby, Gina Dalby, Jon Krivitzky, and Patrick Knapp — is a music and theater veteran, with diverse entertainment backgrounds. Their performances and CDs have been well received with brisk US and international sales. They have entertained at music festivals, nautical festivals, major tall ships events, maritime museums, renaissance faires, folk music venues and corporate events on both sides of the Atlantic.

Bounding Main is super-duper excited to be returning once again to perform at the Janesville Renaissance Faire! This is one of our very favorite festivals and we are honored to have been asked back again this year. Each year the organizers and volunteers take a picturesque park and turn it into a magical place to see shows, sing songs, eat great food from local vendors, drink artisan beverages, shop for unique gifts, and much more! Plus, they collect food for the food bank and ticket proceeds go to support scholarships for local high school students. So far, more than $25,000 has been raised for scholarships and additional support provided to other worthy organizations. So dust off your costumes, grab your donations, and join us on May 17th and 18th for some maritime merriment!

Our Music
“Though my sails be torn and tattered, and the mast be turned about, let the night wind chill me to my very soul,
Though the spray might sting my eyes, and the stars no light provide, give me just another morning light to hold…”
“A Sailor’s Prayer,” Rod MacDonald, 1978. Recorded with permission for Bounding Main’s Maiden Voyage album.
