The Grand Rivers Southern Storytelling is something else the community is really excited about.
The following is courtesy of Grand Rivers.com:
The first Grand Rivers Southern Storytelling event will include seven professional songwriters and storytellers in two full nights of southern music and tales. Here is the lineup:
Appearing Friday Night -
A native of Covington, GA, Andy Irwin started out in comedy, but added music and storytelling because he had a lot more to say. In storytelling circles, he is known for relating the adventures of his eighty-five-year-old aunt, Marguerite Van Camp, M.D. He’s always on the go, performing at festivals, and theatres throughout the United States, including two gigs at the National Storytelling Festival.
Mary Hamilton has a straightforward “just talking” style, using her voice and her body to tell stories. Mary entertains audiences of adults, families, or children with Kentucky tales, world folk & fairy tales, plus a few myths, legends, true stories, and original fiction.
Amy and Cole Bruce have performed at the Badgett Playhouse in productions of Variety!, Always Patsy Cline, and Pumpboys and Dinettes. Amy and Cole now live in Nashville, TN where they do studio work, write and record music, and performed live for various artists and songwriters. As part of the Grand Rivers Southern Storytelling Event, Amy and Cole will perform some of their original songs.
Appearing Saturday Night –
Kaci Bolls was born and raised in the college town of Murray, Kentucky. Kaci now lives in Nashville and has become an in demand demo singer, singing the demos for songs that have been cut by artists such as LeAnn Rimes, Carrie Underwood, Sara Evans, and more. She can’t wait to share some of her own songs and the stories behind the songs.
Michael Reno Harrell hails from the Southern Appalachian Mountains and is an award winning songwriter, as well as a veteran storyteller and entertainer. Michael’s recordings top the Americana Music Association charts year after year. Michael’s natural knack for storytelling has earned him praise from both the music community and the storytelling world.
Ellouise Schoettler calls herself an “old-time Southern storyteller” like those she grew up listening to in her native North Carolina. Schoettler combines personal memories with family and local history in stories that reveal and bring to life moments in the lives of ordinary people.
