Join us for music and stories with Chip Albright, a storytelling singer-songwriter who weaves a tapestry of music from a blend of genres: Folk, Roots, Americana, and Country. Chip believes that these compositions possess tremendous power in helping us better understand the world we live in.
“I often describe my songs as empathetic vignettes, allowing listeners to see through someone else’s eyes,” Albright explained. Some narrators are fictional, while others are based on real individuals.
Born and raised in Fort Scott, Kansas, about an hour’s drive south of Kansas City, he describes his birthplace as a small community with a Victorian-style downtown, brick streets, and a rich history where his parents still reside.
“I grew up on a farm as a 4-H kid until the mid-eighties when we moved to town after the farm crisis hit us tremendously hard,” he said.
A true Midwesterner with rural Kansas roots and Des Moines, Iowa branches, Chip Albright is an independent singer-songwriter that still believes in good over evil. Chip’s songs are empathetic vignettes and reflective narratives weaving personal perspective and social commentary with Folk, Americana and Country stylizations. Chip has a penchant for storytelling, humor and insight. Chip will be performing songs from his forthcoming CD, Twenty-Five, that chronicles 25 of his original songs from the last 25 years and will be available for purchase. Chip is also a member of the Iowa Writers’ Collaborative and writes a weekly column called Chip Happens. You can find his original songs and stories online at www.chipalbrightmusic.com
