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.
No single genre holds the catalog down. The songs move the way the expedition moves — anchoring wherever the story calls for it.
Big, singable tracks built to carry the expedition's identity — written for raft-ups, crews, and open water crowds to answer back.
Stripped-down, restrained songwriting for the quieter moments — tributes, crossings, and the weight of the miles.
Spanish-language and Latin-influenced tracks that follow the western Caribbean and Latin American legs of the Rim Run.
A starting point into the catalog. The full song library — organized by BEC stop — lives on the Songs page.
