Rock And Blues Cruise: Speedy Ortiz 2015

August 30 Boarding begins at 12Noon - Cruise departs at 1PM from the World Trade Center Pier, Seaport Blvd in Boston. 21+ Speedy Ortiz was just named as Best Band in Boston as part of the Boston Magazine's annual Best of Boston. This is what they have to say about Speedy Ortiz. "The commonwealth’s next great rock 'n' roll band? That’d be Speedy Ortiz, a quartet secretly amped on pop but swinging its guitars with a raw, righteous roar. The new Speedy album, Foil Deer, gives the same goosebumps you got back in college when you first heard Pavement and Helium. At the front: Sadie Dupuis, a former UMass Amherst poetry MFA who was raised on Top 40 R & B, sang in a children’s choir that toured internationally, and has admitted to asking herself, when writing a verse, “What would Fiona Apple do?” The bandwagon is boarding…now." The ship, The Provincetown II, berths at the World Trade Center Pier, located at 200 Seaport Blvd in Boston. Be sure to arrive well before the above mentioned departure time. Scheduled to last three hours, the cruise concerts begin boarding an hour prior to departure. Cash and food bar available on board. Online ticket sales come to an end an hour before boarding but continue on the pier until departure time. 21+. For more information and to purchase advance tickets visit www.rockandbluescruise.com
