CAMDEN Camden Opera House offers a twist on trad in its SoundCheck series of small, safely distanced performances Friday, May 21, at 7:30 p.m. For one hour, Portland’s pirate-themed trio Shank Painters will turn the opera house stage into a salt-soaked deck awash with seafaring tunes.
Captain Nobeard (Elizabeth Leibiger) discovered a love of sea shanties through the video game “Assassin s Creed IV: Black Flag,” trading in the piano for an accordion. Trouble von Bellows (Charlie Swerdlow) is a singer, guitarist, songwriter and translator of French shanties.
Fair B. Rapscallion (Fairen Stark) is a vocalist and banjo player, as well as a Maine College of Art student.

CAMDEN Camden Opera House continues to welcome music lovers back inside with its SoundCheck series of small, safely distanced performances. On Friday, May 7, at 7:30 p.m., recording artist, composer, podcaster and author Gordon Thomas Ward will take the opera house stage.
Sales of advance-only tickets, $10 via camdenoperahouse.com and 236-3154, end 3:30 p.m. on show day. Seats for the hour-long concert will be assigned on a first come/first served basis.
Winter Harbor’s Gordon Thomas Ward tours as a solo performer with songs that dot the Folk Music, Euro Indie Music, DRT Global Adult Contemporary and 150 Country Airplay charts and more. His stylings have been influenced by the singer-songwriters of the late 1960s through the ‘70s, yet Gordon s songs occupy a space all their own, filled with honesty, emotion and, occasionally, personal politics.
