Culpeper Tells Storytelling Festival
Culpeper Tells…a Festival of Words is a celebration of storytelling, an interactive way of using words and actions to engage a listener’s imagination. It’s not stand-up comedy, although it’s often humorous. Culpeper Tells has included bluegrass and folk singing, but it’s not a concert. It’s not children’s story time, but most ages will enjoy most stories. A storytelling festival features performances and workshops from a variety of professional storytellers while also offering story slams—a chance for amateurs to tell a tale.
Nationally-celebrated professional storytellers Adam Booth, Geraldine Buckley, Donald Davis, and Michael Reno Harrell will perform at both 1:00 and 7:30. Story slam at 2:45.
http://culpepertells.com/Mountain View Community Church’s Sermon topic is “True North – Faith Alone.”
Join us at 8:30 a.m., 10 a.m. or 11:30 a.m. Live stream available at 10 a.m. via our website www.mountainviewcc.net. Children’s programs available for birth – 5th grade. Located at 16088 Rogers Road, behind Brusters Ice Cream. Small groups also meet throughout the week. 540-727-0297

The Honey Dewdrops & Zoe and Cloyd
Don’t miss a night of beautiful harmonies and Americana music by the Honey Dewdrops & Zoe and Cloyd!
Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish share more than most couples. As the Honey Dewdrops, they share stages from venues to festivals across North America, stretches of rolling, infinite roadway, and a lot of songs. With tight harmonies and a musical ensemble that includes clawhammer banjo, mandolin, and guitars, the effect is to leave listeners with only what matters: the heart of the song and clarity over ornamentation.
Award winning songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, Zoe & Cloyd perform a mix of original and traditional material on fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin featuring lovely vocal harmonies and timeless melodies.
Natalya Zoe Weinstein and John Cloyd Miller spring from deep roots in American music. They are founding members of the acclaimed Americana trio, Red June and long-time veterans of the Asheville, NC music scene.
