about
Pirates, shanghaiers, slavers, and smugglers, authentic maritime songs; ardent patriots, hard-pressed immigrants, and weathered sailors sheltering in the taverns of the seven seas. All are midway between some dicey spot in life and an uncertain future. Their compelling stories of bold adventure are excitingly re-told here by an all-star crew of Irish singers and musicians led by vocalist/author Dan Milner. Dan Milner is a founding member of The New York Packet, the official maritime song group of South Street Seaport Museum, NYC. He also sings with Mick Moloney's Washington Square Harp and Shamrock Orchestra, which is affiliated with New York University. From 1998 to 2008, Dan toured in Europe and the USA with Bob Conroy. He now performs at festivals with Robbie and Roxanne O'Connell, and Bonnie Milner. Dan's recorded with the great Louis Killen and Mick Moloney, and 8 All-Ireland champions. His just-released Smithsonian Folkways CD, Irish Pirate Ballads, features many of Irish America's foremost musicians and singers. Blessed with a keen ear for a fine song and a clear sense of its cultural context, Dan Milner has been involved in the Irish song tradition all his life. The son of a traditional singer, he was raised in Ireland, England, Canada and the United States. A former National Park Ranger at the Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, and currently a columnist-reviewer for Visions: the Journal of New York Folklore and occasional contributor to Sin
