The Albany Shantymen are an Australian vocal group from Albany, Western Australia.
They currently consist of 15 members and perform primarily sea shanties and folk music in the English tradition, as well as composing and recording their own music. They came to the attention of media for their rendition of the 1800s folk song “Wellerman”, as the song was popularized on the video sharing social network service TikTok in early 2021 by singer Nathan Evans.[1][2]
