Pity the fate!

This Saturday (Sept. 19th, 2026) A.J. will present ballads of larceny and retribution on land and on sea, buoyed by historical context and a treasury of trivia. Live at the Somerville Armory Cafe, there will also be a Zoom livestream option available - preregister here.

Please be aware: these are traditional ballads about crime, and may contain sensitive content.

Cosponsored by the Folk Song Society of Greater Boston and the Mermaid’s Tavern, We are expecting an exuberant and enthusiastic crowd of pub singers - in pirate garb, if desired! - for a tight-packed ballad and broadside concert at 2pm and singaround at 3pm. Join us for this swashbuckling Talk Like a Pirate Day event with traditional and historical depth and authenticity as well as some festive piratical shenanigans. Suggested donation $20 sliding scale at the door, or by Paypal for the Zoom option.

Note to album Kickstarter backers from this summer: if you have not filled out the pledge manager, please do! I can’t get you your rewards until you do. Thank you! If you’re having any issues with it, please reach out.
