Christopher Shaw, Adirondack folk singer and story teller will be perfoming at the Caroga Historical Museum.
For over ten years Shaw toured for Taylor Guitars as a clinician demonstrating American Folk and country style guitar from Anchorage to Berlin. In addition to his trips for Taylor, he has appeared at such highly respected venues as the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, two appearances for the Smithsonian Institute, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Old Songs Folk Festival, and the Chautauqua Institute, as well as music halls, festivals, and coffee houses across the US and Europe. He has produced a number of TV soundtracks for Public Television. Chris wrote the soundtrack 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 called “Chris Shaw: Live in Concert” is showing on PBS stations across the country
Shaw has nine recordings under his belt with another to be released this spring. His 1988 debut, “Adirondack”, has been inducted into the Library of Congress Folk Archives. Performers who have contributed to Chris’ recordings include such acoustic innovators as Artie Traum, John Sebastian, Garth Hudson (The Band), Vassar Clements, Cindy Cashdollar (Asleep at the Wheel), Tony Trischka, Jay Ungar, and Steve Riley.
The Caroga Historic Museum is located at 145 London Bridge Road, Caroga Lake, NY. Cost for the concert is $5.00 for adults, free for 16 and under.
