And just like that, the sea shanty craze has caught our hearts by surprise, and yes, we’re smitten. Grab something to drink (tea….or rum, perhaps?) and sing along.

Wellerman is the sea shanty that’s going viral on Tik Tok right now from the most fabulous Nathan Evans! We’ve got a snowstorm here in Chicago today, so we thought we’d jump in on the fun of The Wellerman sea shanty craze. Nathan Evans’ Tik Tok video has inspired so many awesome Wellerman sea shanty remix videos, and we thought we’d contribute an all string version to the mix. If you’re looking for a new version of Wellerman sea shanty violin, give this a listen. We had a lot of fun with this string quartet cover of what’s become the most famous sea shanty, and hope that you enjoy it!
