On October 31, 2009 the Dangergrass band from central Wisconsin, in the spirit of Halloween, dressed up as pirates and debuted their collection of sea songs and shanties. The persona stuck, and today the group travels under the guise of Canon Ball.
One of our recent endeavors transports the audience to the decks of ancient ships in a series of sea songs and shanties. At some venues we team up with our good friend Dr. Bob to present the Seafaring Puppeto. Mermaids, sea hags, vikings, pirates, whales with unicorn horns and exploring the underwater world with SCUBA gear are all part of this musical puppet show. So head out to sea and be entertained with live music performed to a choreographed seafaring marionette puppet show!
