About Me



Bounding Main is a costumed vocal group that sings richly harmonic versions of traditional maritime songs. Each of their members is a music and theater veteran with diverse performance backgrounds. Their second CD, "Lost at Sea," has been well received with brisk domestic and international sales. (Bounding Main’s music is available for purchase from CDBaby, Apple iTunes, Emusic, Tradebit, PayPlay, Rhapsody, Chantey Cabin, The Portico, Best Buy (on request), SE WI Barnes & Noble stores, and select museum gift shops.) They have performed at music festivals, nautical festivals, major tall ships events, maritime museums, renaissance faires, folk music venues, corporate events, house concerts and private gatherings.
