Off the Plank: The Ranzo Boys are Young, Queer and Here to Sing Sea Shanties

This season of "Off the Path" has featured music from the Ranzo Boys, a traditional folk music trio based in New York City. In this episode, Davis Dunavin sits down with the Ranzo Boys to learn more about the stories behind the songs.

Davis Dunavin loves telling stories, whether on the radio or around the campfire. He started in Missouri and ended up in Connecticut, which, he'd like to point out, is the same geographic trajectory taken by Mark Twain.
