Founded in 2019, HONKY TONK SAIL is a French association for culture, arts and music located on a sailboat travelling around the world. We are looking for sustainability while proposing an ecological way of touring. We collaborate with artists, civic and cultural organizations from the North Atlantic ocean and Western Europe. Jazz New Orleans is the main music on board, but the program also includes visual arts, performances, workshops and cultural exchanges.
Créée en 2019, HONKY TONK SAIL est une association culturelle française spécialisée dans la musique jazz et les arts visuels. Nos activités se passent à bord d’un voilier qui voyage à travers le monde. Nous organisons nos tournées à la force du vent, source d’énergie infinie, incontrolable – et propre. L’association travaille en collaborant avec des artistes et des structures culturelles et sociales de l’océan Atlantique et de l’Europe de l’Ouest. Au programme ? Des concerts de jazz New Orleans, des performances dessinées, des stages, des ateliers des échanges culturels et artistiques.
We just finished our summer tour between the azorian islands. It was a great last tour ! Yes, we said “last tour”.
After 7 years at sea with talented artists and this yellow catamaran, we can say that we made our dream true. Life is like the sea, it always changes. It’s time for the next chapter !
Keep it up !
In august, we have done a last short video, to present Honky tonk sail and to give inspiration to other initiatives at sea. It’s also the occasion to thank all the crazy people who passed by our projectc. Honky tonk is nothing without all the musicians, the sailors, and all the friends who came on board helping, performing, sharing.
We are almost done with the editing of this video. Very soon, you’ll find it here.
