MANSFIELD, Ohio – Nationally known singer/songwriter Chip Richter is bringing his “Very Merry Dashing Dancing Jingle Ringing Family Christmas Concert” to Linden Road Presbyterian Church on Friday, Dec. 19.
The free event will begin with a soup dinner at 5:30 p.m. The concert will begin at 6:15 p.m. in the sanctuary at Linden Road Presbyterian Church, 160 S. Linden Road in Mansfield. There will be a love offering taken during the concert.
Chip will serve up stories, Christmas songs new and old, as well as smiles, all “Family Style.” Chip’s concerts feature something on the menu for everyone and this event will feature songs from his Christmas CD as well as ancient carols and traditional songs.
It’s a recipe for “more fun than a kid should be allowed to have” as Chip delivers healthy portions of love and laughter for all ages to enjoy. Touring nationally, his concerts are filled with his gentle spirit, pleasant and winsome style, and an unmistakable connection with children and family audiences.
Chip Richter’s original songs range from fun, rollicking, bash-around tunes to songs that are very thoughtful and inspiring, but not at all preachy. Chip’s performances have found a home in libraries, churches, schools and theaters all over the country. He uses acoustic instruments, songs, humor, and loads of audience participation to encourage children to discover their gifts and talents and to use those gifts to help others.
Chip Richter’s music has been compared to James Taylor and Phil Keaggy and indeed offers a tranquil, folk appeal that is soothing to the soul and finds a welcoming audience among teachers, librarians and parents as much as children.
