THE BUCCANEERS' mixture of shantyish, folky tunes and punkrock plus a dash of country creates an awesome medley of melodies, chants, sing-a-longs and catchy riffs that make every audience sway back and forth! What makes this band truly remarkable? Definitely it is THE BUCCANEERS' boundless enthusiasm, infectious energy and supreme devotion to their fans and music. Fuelled by an insatiable longing to entertain, THE BUCCANEERS are truly at home in front of any audience, regardless of size or venue.
