Pirates and grand vessels will take over Steveston to the tune of jazz rhythms and light pop jingles this weekend.

The Jolly Tars, a dynamic group of four professional musicians armed with saxophone, flugelhorn, piano, bass and drums, will provide the toe-tapping, head bobbing, tunes twice daily on June 29 to 30 on the Steveston waterfront.

The Jolly Tars are a part of The Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy, and are well suited to the Navy theme of the annual Ships to Shore taking place along Steveston’s waterfront near Imperial Landing and at the Britannia Shipyards.

“People can look forward to their professionalism, and they like to interact with the public”, said Karen Shields, a member of The Naden Band.

This is the first time the band will have performed at Steveston’s Ships to  Shore.
