Pyrates Royale

The Pyrates Royale[1][2][3][4][5][6] are the original singing pirate band, celebrating their 30th year in 2017. They specialize in performing nautical and folk songs with an original and comic flair. The group and its members are local celebrities in the Maryland, Delaware, and Washington, D.C. area.[7][8] Many of their songs are sea shanties, but they also perform other traditional drinking songs and ballads. The band generally plays at renaissance festivals, pubs and taverns, as well as occasionally performing at folk festivals, the Kennedy Center and on special shipboard events.[9][10][11][12]

The band was formed in 1988 with original members Brad Howard, Tim Shaw, Erik Booker and Evan Steinhart. The current band lineup includes founders Howard, Shaw and Booker, as well as long time members Jenn Garman, Damon Hersh, Matt Salisbury, and Claudia Harrison.
