- Date: Saturday, November 15, 2008, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Internationally acclaimed folksinger and storyteller Dan Keding brings his delightful collection of traditional world folktales, personal narratives, and songs to the Hickory Ridge Concert Series Saturday, November 15, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. A well-respected ballad singer, he accompanies himself on guitar, banjo and spoons. This combination of dynamic storytelling and powerful ballad singing has made him a festival and concert favorite throughout the US, Great Britain and Ireland, endearing him to audiences of all ages.
In the summer of 2000, in recognition of his artistic achievements and his contributions to the art of storytelling, Dan was presented the Circle of Excellence Award from the National Storytelling Network. Dan has been a featured performer at some of the most prestigious events in storytelling including The National Storytelling Festival, The Timpanogos Storytelling Festival, The Texas Storytelling Festival, The Sidmouth International Folk Arts Festival (England), and Festival at the Edge (England). His love for story goes beyond the performance stage and into research, resulting in a unique masters degree from The University of Illinois at Springfield in the history and performance of traditional folktales and ballads. Keding has appeared on numerous television and radio shows, including a Halloween special on London Radio BBC.
