Join singer/storyteller Davis Bates for an evening of maritime music. Bates will share traditional sea chanteys and some stories too!

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 hilltown 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 supported in part by a grant from the Medford Arts Council, a local commission that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the City of Medford.
