Join master storyteller and musician Davis Bates for his performance of A Celtic Celebration: Songs and Stories for the Season. Davis will regale the audience with tales and songs from Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Stories of seal folk and wee folk, and sing-alongs galore. This is a program for older children, teens and adults.

Davis Bates has been telling stories for over thirty-eight years, in schools, libraries, and community settings around New York & New England and across the country. His recording Family Stories won a prestigious Parents Choice Magazine Gold Award, and received a starred review by the American Library Association’s Booklist magazine. Davis lives in a small hill town village in western Massachusetts, and when he isn't performing or collecting and learning songs and stories he spends his time gardening and working on various pollinator preservation projects.

This program is funded in part by the Charlton Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
