He returns to Elk Rapids this fall by popular demand.\n\n"That June show was one of those rare nights that managed to be both educational and enchanting all at once\," said Aaron Timlin\, President of the Chalfonte Foundation\, which owns and operates the Chalfonte Theatre. "We knew immediately we wanted to bring Robert back for our audiences this fall."\n\nBlending live music\, storytelling\, photography\, and projected visuals\, Stories & Songs combines theatrical presentation with original acoustic ballads and narratives drawn from Downes's books and travels around the world.

"My songs are all ballads\, meaning they tell stories as well\, stories that resonate deeply with audiences."
