About The Salty Dogs
The Salty Dogs is the maritime music duo of Brad "Cap'n" McClary and Charlie "Doc" Quesenberry. Based out of the Upper Chesapeake area of the North East, Elk and Susquehanna Rivers, they have played a variety of venues in Maryland and Pennsylvania at water festivals, hosted sea chantey singalongs, pyrate music nights, living history events and fundraisers.
Aye, they admit to liking the occasional bawdy pyrate tune. But 'tis also true the Salty Dogs have played and been heartily received at sailing clubs and pyrate-themed kids parties, also known as the PG audience, savvy?
