The historic three-masted sailing ship Balclutha, berthed at Hyde Street Pier, is host to two concerts highlighting the music of merchant and navy sailors, and those who live and work near the sea. San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park presents the 19th annual Sea Music Concert Series.

The performers:

Saturday, October 20, 8:00pm – JOHN ROBERTS

Accompanying himself on concertina and banjo, John Roberts, originally from England, is widely recognized on both sides of the Atlantic as a master singer of chanteys and sea ballads.

Saturday, November 10, 8:00pm – TOM LEWIS

With a powerful voice and sharp wit, Canadian singer-songwriter Tom Lewis brings 20 years of Royal Navy Experience to every performance. His self-penned songs have been described as being "…the works of a greatly gifted songwriter. His recordings are filled with a vibrant authenticity." (New Brunswick Telegram-Journal) -- www.nps.gov
