If you are in the vicinity of New York harbor on this Sunday, October 9th, you may wish to check out the Red Hook Open Studios (RHOS) concert featuring Shepup & friends on Portside NewYork‘s historic tanker Mary A. Whalen. The concert will be held from 5:30 PM to 11:00 PM on the ship at Pier 11, Atlantic Basin, Clinton Wharf Brooklyn, NY 11231.

From Portside NewYork’s press release:

Maritime and marinelife costumes encouraged during a night of music ranging from indie folk to Funk/hip hop aboard our historic oil tanker MARY A. WHALEN. The line-up is Sheila Flaherty (Shepup) and musicians Bloodman Steve, Annie Nirschel, and The Loosies curated by Shepup, a female marine engineer performing original songs written from her perspective as a mariner and human being.  Shepup will talk about how her experiences at sea influence her song writing and her work on the water. She invited the other musicians, reflecting the music community she developed from busking and open mics after moving to NYC to work on sewage tankers of the NYC Department of Environmental Protection.
