Catamaran Dan and the Getaway Band

Catamaran Dan and the Getaway Band is the sound of the Blue Rim Expedition Chronicles — original music written and produced from the deck of a 17-foot Hobie Getaway catamaran named Shamrocket, on a multi-year sailing circumnavigation of the Americas.

Every song starts the same way: a place, a person, or a moment on the route that needed to be kept. From a landlocked ranch in the White Mountains of Arizona to raft-ups hundreds of boats deep in the Eastern Caribbean, the songs carry the expedition forward — one stop, one story, one track at a time.

The Sound

Built for open water

No single genre holds the catalog down. The songs move the way the expedition moves — anchoring wherever the story calls for it.
