Galveston, TX     March 3, 2019

We returned to the festival that spawned us 20 years prior by landing face first in the Strand for Mardi Gras Galveston. Once again, we headlined the family Sunday, giving one last dose of entertainment before everyone stuffs themselves silly on Fat Tuesday. Buccaneers, booze, and beads continue to reign on the island. Long may it ever be so.

Ladies and gentleman, please welcome to the Bud Light main stage... the Bilge Pumps! (covers mouth with hands for crowd noise)

Rarely have faces looked as smug as John Crow the Cook and Splice the Rigger's do here.

That's because they're making the rest of the band do all the work for them.

The band gets a lot more colorful when it's time to do Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.

Maybe her name should change from Fanny the Flagmaker to Fanny the Laser-Focused.

Maroon the Shantyman needs beads for himself, his microphone, and his steel drum.

Uh... Jack the Rum Runner... you got something on your... uh... never mind.

John Crow has seafood on his mind again.

Come to think of it, so does Harvey the Corpsman

Splice looks into the audience for a little help coping with the insanity going on around him.

Elizabeth the Stowaway has come to realize there is so much wind, she doesn't even need to blow in her flute any more.

This crustacean circus only needs one of them singing "Under the Sea" to make it full Disney.
