✨“Every hyperlane’s got twists and turns that can take you to places you’d never expect.”

Nearly three years after our first rehearsal, we are thrilled to announce that fans across all systems can listen to Star Shanties on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and generally anywhere music is streaming. The album features the original cast from the 2022 production.

One may note that “Ghosts” isn’t included on this album. Don’t worry - We’re gonna call “Ghosts.” It will be released as a single at later date.

This album is just the beginning of the next phase of our journey. We cannot overstate how excited we are to share this with you and all the new ears it will reach.

A huge thanks to the original crew of The Wretched Hive (Taylor, Ryan, Mark, Jandrea, Charlie), and all those who have supported this project thus far! And of course, attention must be paid to the one whose artistry created these shanties in the first place - Arthur Rowan.

Listen, enjoy, and may the Force be with you.

You may have noticed earlier this year that The Wretched Hive’s crew was expanding. This past week, 4 new members officially logged their first performance singing some Star Shanties at the inaugural Space Coast Pirate Festival!

Stay tuned for where you can see these and more new crew members performing across the galaxy!

✨To honor the closing of the Halcyon (also known as the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser) at the end of this month, Star Shanties has released a new shanty entitled "The Last Run."

A note from creator Arthur Rowan: "This started months ago as an idea for a song that the crew on an old merchant freighter might sing when the ship was being decommissioned. While it is technically still that, about halfway through I realized I was actually writing a tribute to a different ship entirely. A tribute video will follow soon, but I wanted to release the audio in the meantime. Please share, enjoy, and thank you."
