This years festival is a fundraiser for the island’s three medical support groups (Friends of Friends; Small Miracles and Medical Safety Net of North Whidbey).

We are the Shifty Sailors, a male singing group from Whidbey Island, Washington. We are well-known by many in the Northwest for our enthusiastic singing and crowd-pleasing presentations. We are UNIQUE because we are one of the only large groups in the U.S. dedicated to a nautical repertoire.

Since 2000 we have traveled extensively, especially in Europe. Listed are just a few of our tours:
2001 - Bergen, Norway
2003 - Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany and Denmark
2005 - Ireland, Wales, England and France
2007 - Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maine Seaports
2009 - Lahaina and Kihei on the island of Maui, Hawaii
2010 - Czech Republic (Cesky Krumlov and Prague)

Our main mission is to make sure the surrounding maritime communities understand their own nautical history. We do this by singing at festivals, senior centers, schools and any other venue where we are invited to have fun with the public.

We consider ourselves Ambassadors of Whidbey Island; the state of Washington, and the United States when we travel. AND this past June we were ambassadors once again as the FIRST AMERICAN GROUP to perform at the International Shanty Chorus Festival in Prague, Czech Republic.
