With Sharkbait, Fanny, and John Crow occupied with holiday gigs, the band was reduced to 4 for the show.

Luckily, our merch goblin was on hand as well.

Anyone notice the stage is gone? That's because someone tore it up during the year while stealing the sound system.

Ruby Pearl the Quartermaster takes over on guitar during "Black and Tans".

It's the Christmas season, though, so we have to double and triple up the sleigh bells.

Despite the lack of members, the band still cranks out their latest Christmas song "Slay Ride".

The crowd lost some focus when the ambulance passed by, so the band brought them back with Stan Rogers' "The Mary Ellen Carter".

Everyone knows it's all about finishing a song on that high note.

Black Pearl the Cannoneer and Maroon the Shantyman have the rhythm section of the band locked down.

Of course, those two can't help but screw around some more during "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas".

It's time for more bonus Christmas music as the band cranks out their original holiday song "Trimmin' in the Riggin'".

Maroon acts out the story of the world's first zombie pirate Christmas song, "Captain Wenceslas".

The Pearls show they got both style and skills. If only there was a place for them to use them.

Splice the Rigger grabs his tambourine and gets funky on "Beggarman".
