Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival 2025 will take place in and around downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire on the weekend of Sept. 27-28, 2025. The full schedule will be released soon - in the meantime, here are the performers for this year:
The lineup of performers will include:
We have a few more performers not confirmed yet, but here's some of the ones you will see this 27th and 28th of September:
STEVE TURNER, master of the English concertina, beautiful singer, and multi-instrumentalist
CHRIS KOLDEWEY, gifted singer, mult-instrumentalist, and chanteyman, with deep historical knowledge
RICK & DONNA NESTLER, sailors and musicians with music from the Hudson to the Caribbean, and more
A.J. WRIGHT & YVES CORBIERE, who have a wide traditional repertoire and working chantey experience, with amazing vocal harmonies and instrumental finesse
ROLL & GO, long-running maritime quartet from Maine with traditional and original songs
RANZO BOYS, a New York-based trio with fantastic harmonies
AUDI & PETER SOUZA, stalwarts of the Gloucester, Mass., chantey scene
JACKSON GILLMAN, “the stand-up chameleon,” with insightful and funny songs for all ages
MY DRUTHERS, an energetic chantey and traditional band from southern Connecticut
LYNZ MORAHN, our own Vice-President and volunteer coördinator, will take some time to share her formidable musical talents with you
LYNN FEINGOLD, a powerful voice with a deep and sometimes obscure repertoire
HILO, a new duo from New York whom you will recognize but haven’t heard before
