Bounding Main is a group of six unique individuals with various backgrounds, interests, and day jobs. The one thing they do have in common is a love of singing and goofing around on-stage.

Before coming together as a group, all of the members of Bounding Main knew at least one other member through their participation in various environmental gigs and singing groups. Little did they know that each meeting was building up to what would, in a few short years, become Bounding Main. The six members of the crew gathered together for the first time on January 19, 2003, where they took some time to get to know one another, sing a bit and discuss putting a group together. They decided they really liked each other and had a great time hanging out. After much debate and fist fights (well, not so much fist fights as lively discussions with their mouths full of food), a name was settled upon: Bounding Main. (As in Sailing, Sailing Over the . . .).

The singing was also developing. The sextuplet, much to their surprise, had an incredible and unique blend of mens and womens voices. Dean had a particular vision for Bounding Main and introduced the group to songs of the sea: pirate songs, ballads, shanties. Songs in this musical genre expressed the complexity that surrounded an old-time mariner's lifestyle and its amazing breadth of emotions: excitement, danger, bravado, loneliness, greed. And drinking, lets not forget drinking!
