Dan Keding, storyteller of international acclaim, is well known for his telling of traditional world folktales, personal narratives of his boyhood in Chicago, ghost stories and dark tales, and superbly crafted original pieces.  As a child, he learned the traditional stories that his grandmother brought to this country from Croatia.  A well-respected ballad singer, he accompanies himself on guitar, banjo, and spoons.  This combination of dynamic storytelling and powerful ballad singing has made Dan a festival and concert favorite throughout the United States, Great Britain, and Ireland, endearing him to audiences of all ages.  Dan has performed at schools, libraries, colleges and concert halls.  We are honored that our Illinois neighbor will be appearing at the Bristol Storytelling Festival for the 5th time.
