~Music of the Sea and Shore~
Daisy Nell, native of Essex, MA, mainstay of the shipbuilding industry
for over 300 years, brings alive New England’s maritime history through
traditional songs of the sea. A familiar voice on the North Shore
music scene, she is known for her broad repertoire of traditional
folk, chanteys, and contemporary songs. Her husband, Capt. Stan, adds
his guitar and dobro to Daisy's banjo and guitar. Together they cover
a lot of territory, from the foc’s’le to the farm!
Daisy has been associated with school programming for many years as a free-lance in-school artist, nursery school music teacher, and museum educator. She also has written and implemented on board interpretative programs on various vessels, including the Mimi and the schooner Adventure. She has written the signature song for Adventure, among others, and even takes a crack at advertising jingles on local cable TV. Stan Collinson started out in high school folk groups and moved on to a performing duo in college with mandolin titan Taylor Armerding of Northern Lights fame. When not tuning his guitar or dobro, might be found tuning up an engine at his business, Gaybrook Garage in Essex. Stan was also at the helm of his free-range turkey farm for many years. Sadly, Boundary Farm is no longer raising birds, but the occasional off course sea gull roosts on the roof. Their music is a shared love, and they hope to share it with you.
