Submitted Fredonia Opera House

FREDONIA – Chris Shaw, one of the country’s finest storytellers, singers & songwriters, will headline this year’s Fredonia Storytelling Festival at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House in a special Evening of Storytelling & Music on Sat., Oct. 16, at 7:30 p.m. The event will be hosted by “Fredonia’s favorite Irishman,” Doug Manly and will feature a post-performance reception.

Shaw was raised in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. He was born the grandson of a commercial steamboat pilot on Lake George. He worked the big boats and grew up listening to the songs and stories passed down from generation to generation, never suspecting he later would bring them to audiences all over the world.

For more than 10 years, Shaw toured for Taylor Guitars traveling from Anchorage to Berlin as a clinician demonstrating American folk and country style guitars. In addition to his trips for Taylor, he has sung songs and told stories at such highly respected venues as the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Smithsonian Institution, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Old Songs Folk Festival and Chautauqua Institution, as well as in music halls, festivals and coffee houses all across the U.S. and Europe.

He has produced a number of TV soundtracks for Public Television. He wrote the soundtrack for and was the voice of Seneca Ray on the television special “Seneca Ray Stoddard: An American Original,” seen coast to coast on PBS. Most recently, a live concert special titled “Chris Shaw: Live in Concert” was shown on PBS stations throughout the country.

Shaw has nine recordings under his belt. His 1988 debut, “Adirondack,” has been inducted into the Library of Congress Folk Archives. He is married to singer/songwriter Bridget Ball, and together they have presented the highly acclaimed Christmas show “Mountain Snow and Mistletoe,” an evening of Adirondack stories and music, each year for the past 15 years, first at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall and, most recently, at the Capital District’s premier performing arts center, The Egg.

Manly is the former CEO of RHM Grocery Products, which owned Red Wing and three other food processing companies. A resident of Fredonia for more than 50 years, he became interested in doing stand-up comedy for retirement communities four years ago and has served as emcee of events for the Storytelling Festival for the past several years.

Shaw also will be featured in a special free storytelling program for kids on Sat., Oct. 16, at 2 p.m. and will offer a 9 a.m. master class for anyone looking to improve their storytelling skills.

The Fredonia Storytelling Festival is sponsored by Ann & Doug Manly and receives support from The Fredonia Teachers Association. Tickets to An Evening of Storytelling & Music are $10 and may be reserved or purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tuesday through Friday, 1-5 p.m. and Saturday, 2-5 p.m. They also may be purchased online any time at www.fredopera.org. The ticket includes a post-performance reception.

Chautauqua County’s only year-round performing arts center, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. A complete schedule of events is available atwww.fredopera.org.
