2010 Storyteller Mitch Barrett, a
performer, storyteller and songwriter from
Berea, KY., will demonstrate his command of
traditional Appalachian stories and songs
during the Redbud Festival and Quilt
Workshop on April 10, 2010. Barrett, who
comes from a long line of storytellers and
musicians, dispels stereotypes relating to
Appalachia during his performances. He
attributes most of the stories he tells to
his grandfather, Bunk Gay, who was known
throughout the region for regaling audiences
large and small with his tales. About music,
“You don’t have to write hit songs, you can
just write stories and songs about your
family.” |
