Seán Dagher

Seán Dagher is widely known for his recordings with the Assassin’s Creed video game series, including Black Flag. His renditions of sea shanties and other songs from the games have been streamed some 70 million times.

His own Shanty of the Week video series receives thousands of views each week, and has a loyal following the world over. Sea shanties have been garnering a resurgence in popularity in the last few years with Seán being one of the most popular artists worldwide in the genre.

During this performance, Seán will take the audience on a seaward journey through worksongs interspersed with a few sea-themed ballads, accompanied by Seán on Irish bouzouki. Audiences will be invited to sing the "crew" responses to some of the most popular songs in the genre, bringing everyone together for a community experience of singing and hollering! 

No previous shanty-singing experience is necessary. And “bad singers” are welcome–even necessary! Heave-away!

Seán Dagher is an active performer and composer of music from various folk and classical music traditions: Celtic, Baroque, Medieval, Arabic, French-Canadian, and Maritime. He is a member of Skye Consort and is co-artistic director of La Nef. Seán sings and plays Irish bouzouki as a solo artist.

Seán's compositions and arrangements have been performed across Canada, the United States, UK and Europe.  He has worked with the Festival du Monde Arabe creating shows of Middle Eastern and North African music.  He has arranged and composed music for audio books, with story-teller and musician Suzanne De Serres, Youth Program Director for La Nef, and for American author Sandra Gulland.  He has been a composer and sound designer for theatre productions.

He has been nominated for numerous OPUS and ADISQ awards and participated in the ADISQ-winning CD, La Traverse Miraculeuse with La Nef and Les Charbonniers de l'enfer.  He has won OPUS awards for  Creation of the Year (Leave Her, Johnny), Album of the Year (Skye Consort & Emma Björling) and Youth Production of the Year (Le chat et le gondolier, La Nef).
