OTHER STORYTELLERS

Fortunately there are a lot of right ways to tell stories, and there are many brilliant storytellers waiting to be heard.. We have chosen two who have interesting websites to let you explore some of the diversity which the storytelling community offers. (For anyone who feels left out, the list of featured tellers will be constantly changing.)

Jay O'Callahan Time Magazine once called him, "A genius among storytellers." Those who have heard him over the years never question it. Known for his ability to probe deeply into the heart of a story, at one moment he might reveal insights into his childhood (and our own as well) as we laugh at common memories. In the next moment he can take us to very uncomfortable places and bring us back, healed in the process. The newsletter on his website is a particular joy to read.

Bill Harley Few artists are able to appeal to both children and adults, but Bill has been doing just that as he has shared his unique blend of story and music in thousands of performances over the past decade. Described by Entertainment Weekly as "the Mark Twain of children's music," Harley is especially known for the insight and humor he brings to his observations about growing up and parenting. No matter who you are, you'll enjoy learning more about what Bill has to offer.
