Looking for a unique brand of entertainment that will make people get up and clap, shout, dance, and sing with a gusto they’ve forgotten they possess? Then, matey, have we got the show for you… The Bilge Pumps!

The Bilge Pumps are a pirate music group based in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area who specialize in performances that combine nautical songs, sea shanties, and Celtic music with a huge (and we mean huge!) dose of silly comedy. The group performs larger than life in their authentic-feeling pirate-themed costumes and their variety of instruments backing up their bellowing voices.

These pirates have been in demand all over the country for their entertainingly goofy stage antics, their well blended and harmonic voices, and their musical skill as they take everyone’s favorite nautical and Celtic music and put their own particular spin on each one. Their show is crafted to pull each audience member in, encourage them to play along with their high-energy shenanigans, and have them leave with a smile on their face and a story to tell their friends.
