Ahoy, Mates!
Bounding Main is a maritime-themed 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 the Haef-way House
Saturday October 26, 2024 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
1819 Cashel Lane, McHenry, IL 60050, USA
Bounding Main will be making another appearance at the Haef-way House in October! This is a traditional house concert so the event is free but donations are gratefully accepted. Also, as is custom, attendees often bring treats to share at intermission so if you are looking to show off your culinary skills this is the perfect opportunity. A table for the food will be provided and beverages will be available for purchase.
Doors open at 6:45 PM and the concert will begin at 7:00 PM.
We hope will join us for an evening of shanty shenanigans! After all, you just never know what will happen at a house concert.
Please note that the performance will occur on the lower level so there will be a flight of stairs to navigate between floors. For your convenience, free street parking is available.
You can visit the Facebook event page for this event and leave a message or respond if you are planning to attend.
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.
