CAPTAIN BOGG & SALTY releases new CD ÔPEGLEG TANGOÕ

With free concerts April 2 in Beverly Cleary ChildrenÕs Library

 

PORTLAND, OR Ð On Saturday April 2nd pirate rock aficionados young and old will assemble in full pirate regalia in the quiet recesses of Beverly Cleary ChildrenÕs Library to raise a ruckus with their favorite buccaneer band, CAPTAIN BOGG & SALTY, as they return to port with ÒPEGLEG TANGOÕ Ñ their long awaited, 2nd full cargo of music and nautical nonsense for pirates of all ages. The two free 40-minute concerts start at 11AM and 2PM. Beverly Cleary ChildrenÕs Library is located in Multnomah County Central Library in downtown Portland.

 

CAPTAIN BOGG & SALTYÕS new CD ÔPEGLEG TANGOÕ contains 14 tracks (10 new songs, 1 cover, and 3 audio sketches) and is on a collision course to rival the bandÕs prior release as the ultimate soundtrack to Òplay pirate.Ó  Their prior release ÔBEDTIME STORIES FOR PIRATES (1999),Õ is an independent phenomenon that is for sale all over the globe and a staple product in the cannon of many pirate-themed attractions: Treasure Island Las Vegas Casino, Pirates of Nassau Museum Ð Bahamas, and TeachÕs Hole Blackbeard Museum (built on the site of the notorious pirate's death).

 

Since their formation in 1999 CAPTAIN BOGG & SALTY has become a performances favorite in the NW. They were even voted ÒBest Pirate Rock Band for the KiddiesÓ by the Willamette Week in 2004 for their standing room only, tot-moshing tour of dozens of Multnomah County libraries. Draped in character and covered in pirate costumes, this band of six music scene and sketch comedy alums delivers a theatrical-rock, pirate-pop show that has delighted even the most seasoned buccaneer.

 

CAPTAIN BOGG & SALTY is as likely to be found in PortlandÕs rock clubs as in schools where the group performs under the flag of Young Audiences of Oregon & Washington. Recent performances included Beaverton City Library, The Bite Of Oregon, Pendleton Roundup, and The National Orange Show in San Bernardino. This summerÕs shows will include Linn County Fair, Bite of Salem, and Festival de Piratas Ñ the bandÕs own nationally recognized festival of pirate music that is now in its sixth year.

 

CAPTAIN BOGG & SALTY CDs are available in Music Millennium Stores in Portland and the bandÕs own website www.EATALIME.com. Visit the website for current show dates, photos, MP3s, and an animated music video.
