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! 

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. He brings a clear message of love and laughter through concerts, seminars and workshops; encouraging families to be all they were intended to be. His mission is to turn the hearts of parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; encouraging love and communication expressed through healthy family life and family relationships. 

Chip Richter has been traveling and performing full time for more than ten years as a singer-songwriter, family entertainer, conference and workshop speaker. Over the last twenty years he has held positions as a Youth Pastor, Children’s Camp Director, Worship Arts Ministries Director, Football Coach, Recording Engineer, Studio Owner, Producer and Businessman. The last eleven summers Chip has been an “artist in residence” at a popular "family" vacation spot on the shores of Lake Erie called Lakeside. Over the years literally thousands of children, and parents alike, have been touched by Chip's weekly performances.

Chip's songs range from rollicking, fun, bash around tunes, to songs that are very spiritual, but not at all preachy. Chip's songs have found a place on both Christian and secular kids radio programs around the country. Chip Richter's music has been compared to James Taylor and Phil Keaggy and indeed offers a tranquil, folk appeal that is soothing to the soul and finds a welcoming audience among parents as much as children. His songs seem to touch the heart of the "child" in us all, capturing snapshots of “family life” that people of all ages will recognize. 

Chip says, "I never really set out to be "songwriter for kids". I just write about what I'm seeing and feeling in my heart and I'm thrilled that kids happen to like my songs. I admit it has caused my focus and attention to be drawn to kids and family issues more and more. I just notice kids now, wherever I go. I find myself thinking and reading a lot about family issues, kids, parenting and the joys and sorrows of it all. I believe it's got my heart, and is fast becoming my passion. I'm a dad, I know what a challenge it is to raise kids. It's an honor for me to have the opportunity to encourage parents (and kids) with my songs and in my concerts. I hope Moms and Dads (and Grandparents) come away from my concerts feeling refreshed and inspired in this great adventure called parenting."

Chip and his wife, Mary Beth, live in Northeast Ohio with their three children, Megan, Brittany and Austin and their Golden Retriever, Biskit, and cats, Bernie, Wesley, and Simon , and a guinea pig named Chester... Chip says, "It sounds like a zoo... come to think of it , it feels like a zoo sometimes. But I would not trade it for the world. It's family... it's messy... but it's so rich and full!"
