8:00 PM
Doors 7:00 PM
Tickets
Captain John and the band breathe new life into vintage sea shanties and nautical tunes with Celtic-punk and pirate-rocker swagger.
Kraus leads this merry crew of powerhouse musicians after years spent as a sea captain and growing up in a musical household. His pioneering band perfectly combines his love for music, the sea and the legacy of the seafaring storytelling. And, just so we’re all clear, in addition to being a multi-instrumentalist and lead guitar player, John Kraus really is a captain – for many years at the helm of one of the LA Maritime Institute’s stunning Tall Ships!
The Goers are: Tim Weed on violin, David Dutton on the drums and jazz legend Bob Aul on fiddle and tuba. Paul Givant of Rose’s Pawn Shop shows up frequently to play guitar and banjo.
