Shoutier Than Thou
The Old Smugglers take the stages and rattle the cages through the power of nautical rock.
The Old Smugglers
Casting their net wide and with reckless abandon, The Old Smugglers done smuggled themselves a stupendous stash of serenaders, rapscallions, and ne’erdowells. Aboard a sinking dinghy on the rising tide and untethered from the anchors of regret, this transient circus of shipwrecked fools board the stage and embark their own uncontrolled precision to an inebriation of songs, shamblings of sonnets, casket of canticles, and a musical chairs of exquisite corpses. Baptized by the unyielding waters of fury and forged by the raging fire of vitriol, The Old Smugglers ascend toward the water’s surface and proclaim victory over mediocrity and malfeasance.
Like bulls in a china shop, The Old Smugglers take the stages, rattle the cages, and are allies to those that create inclusive spaces in which to equitably melt faces. This multi-gender-ational menagerie of misfit musicians acknowledge our privilege and strive to ensure our events are safe and supportive to those whose voices are suppressed and silenced. Through the power of nautical rock, they continue to be intolerant of intolerance and shoutier than the oppressors. Sailing into their 10th year, The Old Smugglers have honed their live performance to deliver an intoxicating shiver of sound that will never go down with the ship. Be it whiskey-bent sea shanties, hillbilly horror country, or maritime folk from the lost coast, they sing shanty-rock tales and spin jazzy-pirate yarns of decadent misadventure for troubled souls everywhere.
