Tom Kastle Describes Bringing Stories of a Legendary Great Lakes Pirat...

We’ve all heard of the exploits and dastardly deeds of Blackbeard, Annie Bonny, William Kidd or Calico Jack who plundered the seas in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.  But how many of us know of the tales of pirates like Dan Seavey, who operated a bit further inland, on North America’s third coast, in the early twentieth century?

Musician and actor Tom Kastle has made a career recalling stories of the Great Lakes in music and on the stage, and now brings a new work to audiences, a one-man show entitled “Dan Seavey, Confessions of a Great Lakes Pirate” which plays this Saturday, September 21st at 7:00 p.m. at Muso, 2040 Winnebago Street in Madison.

Tom paid a visit to WORT studios to tell Monday Buzz host Brian Standing about the show and even slipped into character while he regaled listeners with some of Seavey’s crooked and colorful adventures.
