The Medford Public Library invites you to join singer/storyteller Davis Bates for an evening of maritime music. Bates will share traditional sea chanteys and some stories too. A Western Massachusetts resident, Davis has been telling stories for over 38 years, in schools, libraries, and community settings around New York and New England and across the country. His recording “Family Stories” won a prestigious Parents Choice Magazine Gold Award, and received a starred review by the American Library Association’s “Booklist” magazine.
