Passengers riding the San Francisco Bay Ferry this month are getting more than the usual sweeping views of the bay, as live music is now part of the experience through a new onboard entertainment program.<\/p>\n
The January series, called \u201cTides and Tunes,\u201d features local musicians performing on select ferry routes, adding live entertainment to trips that already showcase the Bay Area\u2019s waterfront. The live music comes at no additional cost beyond the regular ferry fare.<\/p>\n
SF Bay Ferry says the program is designed to encourage more people to ride by enhancing the overall experience, particularly during the winter season.<\/p>\n
Among the featured performers is Bay Area artist Lolah, who recently played during a ferry trip.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first time I\u2019m playing on a boat,\u201d Lolah said. \u201cSo it\u2019s very wobbly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kayla Brittingham of San Francisco was aboard a ferry headed to Richmond and said the live music made the experience more memorable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love taking the ferry. I try to take it whenever I can because we live in beautiful California on the coast,\u201d Brittingham said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She also praised the new program.<\/p>\n
\u201cKudos to whoever thought of this for the ferry, and for putting this together \u2014 this is super exciting,\u201d Brittingham said.<\/p>\n
Lolah said performing on the water created a unique atmosphere for both the artist and the audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most fun part is that I think the passengers have a good time,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s very scenic, and I had a good time too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lolah is scheduled to return for another \u201cTides and Tunes\u201d performance on Jan. 23. The program includes live bands and DJs on select sailings and routes, with performances typically held on larger vessels where space allows for small stage setups.<\/p>\n
Brittingham said she plans to continue enjoying the ferry\u2019s entertainment offerings, whether she is traveling across the bay or riding for leisure.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the music really just elevates the experience,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
