More Fun Than A Kid... should be allowed to have!

Award winning, Singer-Songwriter Chip Richter serves up stories, songs, and smiles “Family Style”. Chip’s Family Concerts feature something on the menu for everyone. 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! Fun, smart, high energy music with a positive message that connects with kids & adults. We're interested in giving kids the opportunity to experience "Live" music with their parents, it's absolutely a "Family Event" designed to be interactive, inspiring and safe for all ages, creating moments for families to take home as memories.
Touring nationally as a solo artist or with his band “The Munks”, Chip’s delightful performances are filled with his gentle spirit, pleasant and winsome style, and an unmistakable connection with family audiences. Chip's solo music has been compared to James Taylor and Phil Keaggy and indeed offers a tranquil, folk appeal. But there’s also a whole “Rockin” side to his sound when Chip is joined by his band The Munks.
Chip received a Parents' Choice Award for his 2014 CD release The Dream Tree, the 2016 Ohio Music Award for Best Children's music for his song "Let's Dance" and in 2017 was named Best Family Musician by Lake Erie Living Magazine. Attending one of Chip's Family Concerts is truly a unique experience, it's not a "kids show" and it's not an "adult show"... it's exactly what it's billed to be... an all age event... FAMILY CONCERT!

Breaking NEWS: LIVE Streaming 2024 God Squad this summer season in Lakeside!

Mr Chip and Friends will be LIVE streaming all summer from The Porch at Bradley Temple in Lakeside, Ohio. Thursday at God Squad is called  "All Request Thursday" and that's when the kids and parents all pick the songs we sing. You can send your request via email to Mr Chip and he'll try to play it in an upcoming LIVE stream. Be sure to include your name and where you're watching from. All of our shows are being recorded and posted on Mr Chip's youtube channel including the LIVE Streamed shows so you can go back and watch any show on demand.

Once Upon A Porch - Season One Launches!

The “Once Upon a Porch” project, 13 years in the making, is part of Chip’s dream to expand God Squad and the Lakeside experience to a wider, year-round audience. 
However, “Once Upon a Porch” is not Chip’s first foray into streaming content. During the pandemic, he launched “Lunch with Mr. Chip,” a weekly live-streamed show for kids on his YouTube channel. Chip was surprised by how well the show was received and how meaningful it was to families to make that connection.
Episodes will be released starting Saturday, January 6, 2024 The first six episodes are:
  • Fears Show (All about trying something new for the first time or beginning new things and how that can be kind of scary for us.)
  • Patience Show (A little bit of Patience sometimes is just what we need.)
  • Toothpaste Show (All about our words and how powerful they are and how once it's out there's no taking it back... like squirting out too much toothpaste from the tube... it's impossible to put it back.)
  • Achoo! Show (All about colds and germs and being careful but also about cheering up a friend who's not feeling well.)
  • Celebrate Reading Show (We're celebrating Dr Seuss birthday and reading)
  • Garden Show (It's getting warmer and all things are greening up and warming up and we are thinking about seeds, plants and growing things.)
Children will meet characters including Hank the Monster, Quackers the Duck, Bucky Beaver and Granny Waggles.
