Stories, songs for the family

Folk singer John McCutcheon has more than songs up his sleeve, bringing an array of instruments and family-friendly storytelling to his performances. The Ventura-based “Performances to Grow On” series brings McCutcheon to the picturesque Church of Religious Science on Saturday for an evening of song singing and tale spinning. Joining McCutcheon, who has three Grammy nominations and nearly 30 albums to his credit, are the New York-based Chapin Sisters.
