Jeff Stockton’s work in the world is woven on the strings of the Celtic harp.
Whether in live performance, or as speaker and facilitator, Jeff effortlessly connects with audiences and participants. For nearly two decades, he has traveled nationally and internationally - harp in hand - bringing once in a lifetime experiences to people of all ages, in a wide variety of contexts. Accomplished as musician, storyteller and speaker - every experience inspires, and he weaves a strong rapport with those in attendance.
An award winning recording artist, he has released 5 CD’s of his work.
His latest storytelling recording - "Once Upon A Midwinter" - has just won a 2019 Storytelling World Award!
His four previous recordings - 'Sacred Ground' (singer/songwriter); 'Beneath the Boughs' (gentle instrumental music); 'Wisdom of the Woods' (storytelling); and "Between Two Lights" (singer/songwriter) are all available through itunes, amazon and digital streaming services. 'Wisdom of the Woods' was named one of the best storytelling recordings of 2012, and awarded an international 'Storytelling World' award.
Jeff is equally at home in concert with full ensemble and in intimate settings with solo harp. He has brought the power of song & story to conferences, professional environments, countless schools, group retreats and to work with individuals. He works extensively in the realm of Celtic Heritage & Traditions.
