Legendary folksinger, storyteller, and autoharp virtuoso, Adam Miller, will perform a free concert of traditional American folksongs and autoharp instrumentals at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18, at the Lopez Island Library.

One of the premier autoharpists in the world, Adam Miller is a renowned American folksinger and natural-born storyteller. An accomplished folklorist, historian, musicologist, and song collector, he has amassed a remarkable repertoire of over 5,000 songs.

Miller accompanies his rich, resonant baritone voice with lively finger-picking acoustic guitar and stunningly beautiful autoharp melodies.

A masterful entertainer who never fails to get his audience singing along, he has distinguished himself as one of the great interpreters of American folktales and folksongs, and as a performer who appeals to audiences of all ages.

Traveling 70,000 miles each year, this 21st-century troubadour has performed in concert halls from the Everglades to the Arctic Circle. Over 1,000,000 students have attended his “Singing Through History” school assembly programs. Pete Daigle, editor of Seattle’s Autoharp Quarterly magazine, calls him “the busiest autoharp player on the planet.”

Miller has recorded six CDs that receive airplay across North America and Europe: “Bare Fingers – The Solo Autoharp Artistry of Adam Miller,” “The Orphan Train and other Reminiscences,” “Wild Birds,” “Along Came a Giant – Traditional American Folk Songs for Young People,” “Buttercup Joe – Timeless Ballads and Folksongs,” and “When the River Ran Backwards – Adventures in Folksong.”
