The Longest Johns

Melkweg, Thursday, September 17 at 07:00 PM GMT+2

The Longest Johns are formed around a kitchen table in Bristol, where three friends discover their shared love for sea shanties. As an a cappella folk group, the trio breathes new life into traditional folk with original arrangements and fresh songwriting. Their big breakthrough comes with ‘Wellerman’. Their cover of this one‑hundred‑and‑fifty‑year‑old folk song from New Zealand grows into a worldwide viral hit and sparks a full‑blown sea shanty craze. This autumn, The Longest Johns bring their ‘Sea Shanties’ to Melkweg.

Home Free

Melkweg, Friday, September 25 at 07:00 PM GMT+2

Home Free is an American country a cappella group consisting of five singers: Adam Bell-Bastien, Adam Chance, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, and Tim Foust.

They first gained national recognition after winning the fourth season of The Sing-Off in 2013, which earned them a record deal. Since then, they have released successful albums, including 'Crazy Life' (2014) and 'Challenge the Sea' (2025), and built a strong international fanbase. Their music is a mix of country classics and modern pop, performed with rich harmonies and humor. The group continues to tour actively and performs many shows annually in the United States and abroad. In 2026, you can see Home Free live at Melkweg!

For #TalkLikeAPirateDay, I usually post one of the best #SeaShanties ever, especially being from the delightful #LittleDee #webcomic from Christopher Baldwin.

"In October 2007, in my comic strip Little Dee (www.littledee.net) I wrote a sea shanty into the story. It was well received, and upon my asking, my brother (www.herculesmusic.com) wrote the music and recorded it. I sang the caller lead and the chorus lead, and Peter did everything else. Enjoy!"
