Yargh...Gather round children and I will tell you the tale of Pete & The Pelicans...

'Twas a balmy Autumn night at the 2006 National Folk Festival where a group of young performers all converged upon a small stage for a youth showcase where they would see each other perform. Upon meeting, Pelican Pete and Peg-leg Johnny struck a chord or three and decided they should start a band.

Not long into their voyage, they came across a savvy drummer by the name of The Peddler and recruited him to their ranks.

In their time on the high seas, Pete & The Pelicans have had many crew members that have either left or been thrown overboard, including Hillbilly Phil on Banjo & Mandolin and the man known only as The Captain on upright bass.

Pirates are overrated...enjoy the music!
