Bounding Main is an a cappella quintet focusing on traditional sea shanties and maritime music. They are located in the United States.

Formed in 2003, Bounding Main's musical catalog focuses solely on maritime music. They perform traditional sea shanties and nautical ballads from as far back as 400 years ago, as well as contemporary pieces and original compositions.^[1] Bounding Main introduces historical music in a way that appeals to a wide range of listeners. Their use of harmony-focused arrangements brings new life to pieces generally arranged in a simple call and response format.^[2] They have a number of different costumes ranging from a traditional "Elizabethan sea dog" look to a more casual appearance with their French sailor smocks; they tailor their appearance to the performance and venue.^[3] This award winning group has taken several international tours bringing their music to popular shanty and maritime festivals in locations such as Germany, Netherlands, Poland, France, England, and Canada. They have been referenced in books focusing on maritime music and history, and their music has been included in maritime museum exhibits, used in film soundtracks, and has been preserved in the British Library's Sound Archive.^[4]

Their fan club is known as the Bounding Mainiacs.^[5]

History

Dean Calin reached out to veteran environmental theater performers, Christie Dalby, Gina Dalby, Jon Krivitzky, David Yondorf, and Maggie Hannington, inquiring if they wanted to join together to sing maritime music. The group met for rehearsal for the first time on January 19, 2003.^[6] From 2003 through early 2010, the group had six members. In mid-2010, the group began performing as a quintet when Maggie Hannington retired from the group to make time for her family.^[7] In 2023, the group began performing as a quartet following the death of original member, David Yondorf, on May 17, 2023, following a brief battle with cancer.^[8] In 2024, Bounding Main welcomed a new member to their group, Patrick Knapp, Jr., who replaced David Yondorf as the group's baritone/bass.

As the original performers were vocalists, and traditional sea shanties were often performed a cappella, the group decided to perform their music a cappella with minimal percussion for select songs. The group originally collaborated with instrumentalists on their first CD, Maiden Voyage, but since then have elected to mainly produce a capella tracks.

Bounding Main has performed at maritime museums, maritime music festivals, including the Chicago Maritime Festival, tall ship festivals, harbor festivals, arts festivals, pirate festivals, renaissance faires, wooden boat shows, corporate events and private parties. Additionally, the group has performed at international music festivals in Canada and Europe.

Bounding Main has produced six CDs: Maiden Voyage, Lost at Sea, Going Overboard, Operation Share the Shanties, Kraken Up, and Fish Out of Water. Going Overboard was favorably reviewed in Dirty Linen magazine in 2010.^[9]
