The Salty Sirens Present: Haystack Mountain Hermits

Lovers of swell sea shanties and rollicking singalongs, The Salty Sirens are Kristy Capstanfield (vocals and accordion) and Elyse Fishpatrick (vocals and whale facts). Since 2021, they have been rocking boats with their flavour of sea shanties, SHE shanties and sea songs with a modern, queer twist, and now these sapphic sailors are sailing into Ipswich to lead you on a musical journey through traditional and modern nautical folk song, tales of shipwork, daring adventure, defiance and debauchery on the high seas.

The Salty Sirens are proud to present their landlubbin' mateys of folk bluegrass renown Haystack Mountain Hermits.

Inspired by their motto "We Play We Sing We Fight" the Haystack Mountain Hermits transport you to an acoustic world of sensational blood harmonies, coupled with the band's fine musicianship, which will leave you spellbound as they weave traditional favourites and original songs into an unforgettable live performance. Each song they perform has been carefully crafted into a unique arrangement that showcases their exceptional musicianship and vocal skill.

Haystack Mountain Hermits are rooted in tradition, but their gaze is fixed firmly on the future. This family can really sing, and they can really play. Whether they fight onstage depends on the day!

Sea ye there!
