Tom Smith wrote "Talk Like a Pirate Day" in 2008. The song became a kind of anthem for people who enjoy the playful side of pirate culture, with its straightforward melody and lyrics that invite listeners to join in.
He worked with guitarist Chris Hoadley, bassist Tom Robinson, and drummer Mike Macleod to record and perform the music. Their sound had elements of folk and rock, but the pirate theme gave it a particular character.
After "Talk Like a Pirate Day," Smith released albums like "Yo Ho Ho" in 2010, "Shiver Me Timbers" in 2012, and "Songs for Sailors" in 2014. The music found an audience that appreciated its specific, lighthearted approach.
