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.
Upcoming Performances
Bounding Main at Inventors Brewpub
Friday March 28, 2025 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
305 E Washington St, Port Washington, WI 53074, USA

Bounding Main will be performing back in our favorite maritime town, Port Washington, Wisconsin at the amazing Inventors Brewpub.
A couple of years ago, Adam Draeger took the entire space that was once the vendor area for Port Washington Pirate Festival and created the most incredible building. On the west side there is the brewery, on the East side is an amazing restaurant with delicious food and beverages. In between is the Edison Stage that is a wonderful performance and community space!
You will want to arrive early to take in a meal with a view of the marina!
Our show starts at 6:00 PM on the Edison Stage. There will be two 45 minute sets with a break in-between.
Bounding Main has performed often in Port Washington, having been featured at the storied Maritime Heritage Festival, the Port Washington Pirate Festival and Port Washington’s Christmas on the Corner. We are so proud of how much the town has grown and become a captivating Great Lakes destination city!

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.
