Woodslore and Wildwoods Wisdom with Doug Elliott
Stories, Songs, and Lore Celebrating the Natural World, 8:15 pm on Sat Whether he's singing about catfish, pontificating on possums, extolling the virtues of dandelions, telling wild snake tales, or wailing out a jivey harmonica tune, storyteller Doug Elliott will take you on an unforgettable, multifaceted cultural tour of North America's back country. He performs a lively concert of amazing tales, lively tunes, traditional lore, outrageous personal narratives, and fact stranger than fiction. He flavors it all with regional dialects, lively harmonica riffs, and more than a few belly laughs. |
