We raise our tankards to our very dear friend and fellow Order of Leviathan member, Kelly Farrah, who has been fighting brain cancer and is now in hospice. He is at home with his beautiful wife, Judy, who is an amazing woman with a generous and loving spirit. We love them both and their wonderful son Jesse so very much. I have no words to describe how special they all are to us and so many others. 🙏❤️

Give a listen to our single honoring the infamous privateer, Jean Lafitte, who is said to have died just after dawn on February 5, 1823, after being mortally wounded in battle. Or was he? Many scholars believed this to be a ruse on his part.

We're excited to be recording again after several years since our last release! Please enjoy our reggae rendition of a cover song written by one of our favorite songwriters, the incomparable Roy Mette. Stay tuned for a new release every six weeks. Next release date is set for July 14th.

It's Bandcamp Friday! With Jean Lafitte's birthday right around the corner, on February 5th, we're reposting our single release from last June in his honor. Since "Jean Lafitte" was our first release in many, many years, some folks missed it. Be sure not to miss it this time! On Bandcamp Friday, artists get to keep a higher percentage of your $1.00 if you download. Enjoy!

“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.” ― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

New Song Release today by The Pyrettes!

Pump Shanty is an old traditional down and dirty sea shanty that we arranged with an instrumental contra dance tune called Jump at the Sun to lend some hope after the darkness. Although sea shanties were traditionally sung by men, we find the lyrics very fitting to be sung by our female crew.
