OXFORD – This Saturday, 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.
