Bad news for Providence’s loudest singalong. The Parlour on North Main Street is up for sale, and once a buyer turns up the doors close, taking the PVD Shanty Sing with it. Sharks Come Cruisin have hosted the night there for 12 years.

“If not for the Parlour, there would be no PVD Shanty Sing,” the band told fans in their November newsletter. Only two are left: Friday, November 13, the last of 2026, and the final one ever on Friday, January 8. The first set stays family friendly till 7:30; after that they’ll be swearing like sailors.

Before then, the Rhode Island shanty crew play First Friday at the New Bedford Whaling Museum on December 4, plus duo sets at Aidan’s Pub in Bristol on November 15 and December 13. Let’s get loud and go out singing.
