Acclaimed singer and storyteller Davis Bates will be returning to the HPL with a performance of participatory songs and stories for the whole family.  This wonderful program will include traditional and contemporary folk songs and stories from New England and around the world.  Hear how coyote got his howl, how foam came to be in the ocean, and more, and be prepared to sing, move and clap your hands.  There will even be a short lesson on how to play music on spoons and a guest appearance by a dancing wooden dog named Bingo.  Pete Seeger has called Davis a “genius of a storyteller.”  Davis’ traditional and participatory performance style empowers and encourages audiences to join in the fun, and to take the songs and stories home with them to share with others.  Please pre-register – seats are limited.
