Storytelling Live! with Paul Taylor

(Jonesborough, Tenn.)—This week the International Storytelling Center features Paul Taylor as resident storyteller during Storytelling Live!  Taylor celebrates the culture of his Australian homeland by sharing stories, song and the didjeridoo music of his Aboriginal and European Australia.  He is mentored by Bill Harney, the last male custodian of the Wardaman culture in Australia’s Northern Territory.  Taylor has shared his stories and workshops around the world, including at the New Orleans Jazz Festival, the Kerrville Folk Festival, the Clearwater Revival Folk Festival, and as an Exchange Place teller at the National Storytelling Festival.  His latest recording, Coeee!, has won both Parent’s Choice Gold and National Parenting Publications Gold awards.  “The rippling effect of your performance seems to be never-ending.”  ~Arts Elizabeth Concert Series
