About
Sømændene (formerly De Glade Sømænd) are an eight-piece band from Karrebæksminde who have kept Danish sea shanty tradition alive since the early 2000s, blending folk, rock and bluegrass with violin, banjo and accordion. Their 2008 album Søforklaringer went platinum in Denmark, and in 2012 they won the Danish Music Awards Folk prize for Live Act of the Year. Known for high-energy, sing-along shows, they are a fixture on the Danish festival circuit.
