The Jovial Crew at The Gris


“Sea Chanteys Tonight” reads the banner that flies above The Griswold Inn, 36 Main Street, Essex, every Monday from 8 to 11 p.m. The Jovial Crew brings our Tap Room at The Gris to life with this old seafaring tradition, which remains popular today. To find out more about The Jovial Crew, and preview their songs, visit thejovialcrew.com. Other events coming up at The Gris include those that feature The Cherry Pie Band, Ray playing cocktail piano, and Psychedelic '60s is a trio that pays tribute to the musical super groups of the sixties.

Sea chanteys are sung in a call-and-response style. Most can be learned in the moment. It is not a spectator sport but rather a participation event, according to The Jovial Crew. Photo courtesy of The Gris
