color:black">When the Johnson Girls performed in Woods Hole in
2014 they
shattered all preconceived notions of the typical a capella sea
chantey group,
as these seafaring work songs are typically sung by men. The
quartet
joined together over two decades ago, following the 1997 Mystic
Seaport Sea
Music festival, and quickly became recognized as the leading
all-female a
capella maritime group in the world. Their mission is to keep
chantey singing
and history alive, firmly believing that these rhythmic and
rousing songs
are the first “world music.” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span
style="font-family:Times;
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black">The
quartet is comprised
of Joy Bennett, Alison Kelley, Bonnie Milner and Dierdre Murtha.
They sing
close harmony in a variety of traditions, from English,
Scottish, Irish, Afro-Caribbean,
Quebecois and Italian. Each of them is also a member of The New
York Packet, the
official maritime singing group of New York's South Street
Seaport Museum. Their
extensive repertoire includes work songs and ballads of the wide
ocean and
inland waterways, of fishing and mining. The Johnson Girls bring
a unique
musical interpretation to their performances while preserving
traditional
roots.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span
style="font-family:Times;
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black">Widely
acclaimed for
their powerful performances, The Johnson Girls have performed at
major
festivals, clubs, coffeehouses, and more across the United
States, Canada, the
UK, Ireland, and Europe. They have also performed live on Oscar
Brand’s radio
show, France Bleu radio, and appeared on French TV. <span

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span
style="font-family:Times;
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black">Their
sound has been
called “exciting,” “haunting,” and “uplifting.” The United
Kingdom's Cornwall
Guardian said: “The Johnson Girls, chantey singers from America,
took the place
by storm … Those who thought a chantey singer had to be male and
bearded needed
to think again.” When renowned folk singer Pete Seeger first
heard The Johnson
Girls perform, his reaction was “You are first rate! I didn’t
know women could
sing like that.” </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span
style="font-family:Times;
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black">The
Johnson Girls also
offer workshops for adults and children, with music ranging from
songs of the
fishermen, or of women and the sea, to songs and games about
animals and ships.
The workshops are educational and entertaining, weaving history
of the people
and their working environment into the relevant music. </span></p>
