Pirate jigs, mermaid lullabies, and rock & roll sea chanteys are interspersed with nautical advice and humor for buccaneers of all ages. And even though Captain Bogg & Salty’s songs are fun to dance to, audiences may find themselves “accidentally educated” on topics ranging from the pirates’ monetary system (Pieces of Eight) to preventative medicine (prevent Scurvy—eat a lime!).
With styles range from calypso and pop to galloping rock – and always performed in full costume and character – audiences may be convinced that six singing pirates from the Golden Age have learned to play modern rock instruments including bass, drums, melodica, guitar, and accordion. Offering an array of songs with broad appeal, the band plays pretty much the exact same songs at Portland’s rock clubs as it does at schools and libraries. (Some have referred to their performances as “the Fisher Price My-First-Rock-Concert”). Ninety-five percent of the band’s songs are written by the crew. The other five percent includes covers by the Toy Dolls, Otis Redding, and Disney.
Recent performances include The National Orange Show in San Bernardino, Conan’s Pub in Portland, and an ongoing summer 2004 tour of Multnomah County libraries.

GREAT video! Great performances. Great song. I love the wry little smile from the girl sitting in the corner when the substitute enters the classroom.

I got a CD of these guys in 2007 and was told they played in the area I was in at the time but was a broke college student with no time. Super bummed I never got around to catching a show, but I still love all their music.

Ah Captain Bogg & Salty. Mosh pits of children. Fun songs for the adults to love and sing along to. My daughter, 3 at the time, made Sunny Jim cry when she told him he was her favorite after a Concert at the Moreland.

This song is my childhood.

A core memory of mine is my sisters and I singing this in an airport bathroom when we were little and two older ladies laughing at us
