Jeremy Friedenthal

Jeremy Friedenthal

Jeremy Friedenthal is known by his friends for his strongly recognizable energy, style and trumpeting baritone. His style is heavily influenced by maritime traditions, pub songs and ballads from the Celtic and British traditions, as well as local San Francisco and California historical themes. Jeremy loves a balance of jaunty songs as well as deep, dark ballads of longing and loss. As he sings, he wholeheartedly encourages listeners to participate and sing along. He is a long-time contributor to the park monthly chantey sings as well as a street performer at renaissance faires and local pubs.

Miriam Rubenson

Miriam Rubenson

I began singing sea chanteys in 2010, after coming to the Hyde Street Pier Chantey Sing for the first time. Captivated by the beauty of the music, and the chorus of the boat's creaking against the pier, I plunged into the sea music tradition, focusing on ballads. As a folk singer, educator, and California history aficionado, singing chanteys is the ideal blend of my passions for community, education, and art. I love that sea chanteys inspire us to come together and learn about our history.

Month's Advance

Month's Advance

Answering to the name of "Month's Advance" are (from left) Michael Aho,Talitha G. Phillips, Aaron Holt, and Miriam Attia. Michael and Talitha met on the Balclutha, Aaron and Miriam met at Dicken's Fair, and Talitha and Miriam are old morris dancing buddies. Put these four voices together with guitar and accordion, and you've got a folk band just waiting to happen. Most of our songs are audience-participatory sea chanteys, sung with harmony, gusto, and a few good puns.
