About the Bands:

🥁 Nelson’s Blood (2-4 pm) is 4-piece pirate band focusing on sea shanties both old and new. The members come from every musical background imaginable: jazz, blues, rock, Americana, country, western classical, Eastern European folk music and more. But they have all come together and found a love of singing traditional songs of the sea!

🎸 Will Shehan & Off the Wall (5:30-8:30 pm) are the perfect parrrrrty band! Upstate pop artists, their songs have catchy pop hooks, but their unique sound is rooted in soulful melodies and chords reminiscent of artists like John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder and Maroon 5. Their songs reflect a lifelong love of and respect for many eras of great music.
