The Captain's Beard are pirates from Brighton, England (the drinking town with a fishing problem). The Captain's Beard releases songs with impressive enthusiasm and sounds like a powerful mix of The Pogues and Tenacious D, with a Celtic pirate twist! Coming ashore with accordion, guitar, violin, bouzouki, mandolin, bass and drums; These pirates are ready to get all you landlubbers dancing!
These swashbuckling entertainers fill the stage with boundless energy, expert musicianship and impeccable harmonies. They sing stories about beards and inappropriate mermaids, alongside traditional sailor songs and folky crowd favorites. They have amassed an impressive Spotify following, with their version of “John Kanakanaka” alone receiving over two million streams, as well as international airplay. Don't let their self-deprecating humor fool you: these guys are really good at what they do. And they both play days at Zomerfolk!
