Yo Ho, me Hearties... This is a tale of the adventures of a group of modern day Intercoastal Pirates. Not the marauding or pillaging kind, mind you, but a band of musical skaliwags that go from town to town along the Gulf Coast looking for fun and adventure. I came to be in the company of this motley crew when I was bewitched by the First Mate's serenading some years ago. He began to keep company with these Intercoastal Pirates some time after that, and before I knew it, he was a full-fledged Pirate himself. Not that I mind it... a little swashbuckling never hurt anyone! It will be my duty to chronicle their adventures, journeys to distant waters, and all the fun along the way.

No really, I am not dead or in prison...


Ok, I grant that it's been a long time, but...

There are times when pirating isn't the most time-consistent lifestyle! After months out on the high seas, having braved some pretty rough waters while making a few ports here and there, the blog-master has returned to the keyboard and is ready to update ye olde blog, hopefully to remain so into the future. That's as close as we shall sail to anything resembling an apology!

The band has been busy, with the ship's sails billowing from port to port. Some of the recent stops have been with old friends at Moody Gardens for the annual "Bands on the Sand" event, spending the Forth of July weekend rocking Castaway's at Surfside Beach, sharing in several blissful weddings, a few company parties, and the odd reunion or two. Many events coming up, so make sure to stay tuned for dates and times.

One regular stop for the last three years has been the Great Texas Mosquito Festival in Clute. Each year has been great, playing with such fun folks as Brandon Rhyder, Kevin Fowler, Mickey and the Motorcars, and many more. This year should be a show stopper with headliner Pat Green! A night not to be missed, for certain!

Newest pirate Bryan Armstrong is now firmly settled into his place amidships, and we have been adding new songs nearly every date. A few new songs introduced this past weekend at Dido's were greeted with loud approval by the crowd, always a good sign.

We're always glad to have you along for any portion of the voyage, so hop onboard at the next port and spend a little time with the boys. You won't regret it!
