Saturday, warm up with great music and tales from the North by Chris Shaw at 6OTS

OXFORD – This Saturday at 7:30 p.m., 6 On The Square (6OTS) invites you to spend an evening with Adirondack singer, songwriter and storyteller extraordinaire, Christopher Shaw. Shaw will invite you to bring your chairs in close, imagine you’re in a cabin in the Adirondacks, and nestled around the fire on a winter’s night. Camp songs, songs about life in the mountains, and Shaw’s original songs will take you to a gentler, slower time. His stories about life in the Adirondacks - the humorous and more serene – will make you feel you are there.
Chris Shaw has toured since 1980 from the Philadelphia Folk Festival to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and from Anchorage to Berlin. His music and stories have been seen and heard on many PBS and NPR programs.
Shaw grew up, the son of the son of a steamboat pilot in the Adirondacks, before there was an interstate that opened up that great wilderness to the throngs that enjoy it today. He learned his stories on the docks, in the hunting camps, and in the cabins of friends and relatives. He has brought those stories, in song and narrative to concert halls, coffeehouses, and audiences all over the world.
Chris has ten recordings to his credit including his 1988 debut, Adirondack, which has been entered into the Library of Congress Folk Archives.
Come out of the cold and feel the warm glow emanating from the musical entertainment and finely crafted storytelling by Chris Shaw. You may even want to sing along. Purchase tickets on-line at the discounted price of $12 until the day of the show; $15 at the door. Ticket price for Students is always $2; please call to make a Student reservation! Doors open at 6:30.
Don’t miss future performances by: contemporary Celtic band, RUNA on March 13 at 3 p.m; and Cliff Eberhardt, with an opener by Marc Douglas Berardo, on March 26 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open one-hour prior to show time. Visit the website at www.6onthesquare.org for tickets and future event information.
While you’re there, or before the show, this is your last chance to see the O’Keefe and Mason Retrospective exhibit. This is a very diverse art show featuring many photographs by Bob O’Keefe taken on his world travels; paintings by June Mason and her mother Florence Freud, in oil, acrylic, and watercolor; and select fabric pieces by Martha O’Keefe. All photographs and paintings are for sale, with a portion of the sale price going to support the programming at 6OTS.
