Come out for a rollicking evening of sea chanteys as the booming baritone of David Coffin leads a night of maritime story and song. Be sure to bring your voice!
At the heart of David Coffin’s work is traditional and contemporary folk music. He draws on vocal and instrumental music from North America as well as England, Scotland, Ireland and Brittany, but the songs from the Maritime tradition; sea-chanteys, ballads and the songs of the sailors comprise his main repertoire.
Coffin has performed with Revels since 1980 as a singer, instrumentalist and, since 1991, as Master of Ceremonies. As of 2022, with the Christmas and Spring performances combined, he has appeared in over 70 different Revels productions, celebrating the solstice through the traditions of many cultures.
To date, David has recorded four solo CDs, three digital albums, and has participated on numerous other recording projects both vocally and as an instrumentalist. His last CD, Last Trip Home, features his daughter Linnea. He was also the featured Chantey Singer in Amazon Prime’s hit movie, Blow the Man Down.
