Celtic Folk rock group Tempest has a history of playing pirate songs and playing at WCBE. They will be in town on April 8 at Byrne’s Pub. I spoke with founding member and lead singer/electric mandolinist, Lief Sorbye, about how the band writes. music, especially during downtimes like the pandemic.
[Trying out new music live] is fun because the songs come alive in a different way… it’s a lot fresher, too… because you don’t really know what the song is going to sound like until you have it mixed and mastered.

So listen to the interview and then get to Byrne’s Pub where you can do your imitation of a pirate.
