Songs of the Sea and Shore

It's only been a few months since Thunder and Spice came into existence. Jim, Jerry, Laura, her daughter Elaina met at a rehearsal last winter for singers for the summer Renaissance Faires in North Carolina.
Each loves to sing songs of the sea and shore, which includes sea shanties, pirate and pub songs, as well as melodic harmonies in the Celtic, Folk and Renaissance tradition. Each member puts a variety of theatrical talents and years of musical experience to use in this versatile performance group.
They have so far performed at the Raleigh/Wake Forest and Rocky Mount Faires, Bath Fest (Bath, NC) and later this summer will soon travel to Charlotte for the Faire.
Whether singing bawdy songs at the pub, leading a family crowd in folk sing-alongs, trading sea shanties with pirate crews, these lads and ladies perform with incredible energy and a contagious sense of fun!
