  • Storytelling Live: Anne Rutherford

    Storytelling Live: Anne Rutherford
    International Storytelling Center 100 W. Main Street, Jonesborough, TN, United States

    A five-time champion of the Northwest Folklife Liar’s contest, Anne Rutherford’s tales ring true even when they’re completely false. From personal stories to prize-winning lies, she’s developed a wide-ranging repertoire over her 25 years of performing, including first-person accounts from her Wild West alter ego Clementine Ryder, who usually steals the show. Often accompanied by her mandolin playing, Rutherford’s telling bubbles with humor, heart, and a desire to connect and share meaning with her audience. “Without you,” Anne says, “I’m talking to myself!” One of the finest professional liars in the world. – Portland Tribune

    Hannah Harvey is a contemporary Appalachian storyteller whose boundless energy is undeniably contagious.

    International Storytelling Center 100 W. Main Street, Jonesborough, TN, United States

    April Armstrong is an award-winning actress, singer, and storyteller who weaves melodies and words into her multi-cultural folktales and historic accounts. April’s journey into storytelling began in the third grade, when she was invited back by the fifth grade to reprise her solo from the school play. Her reward?

She has performed at numerous festivals, theaters, and schools nationwide, including the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem.  Armstrong is the recipient of the National Storytellers Network’s 2020 J.J. Reneaux Emerging Artist and the 2015 Bronx BRIO awards for Storytelling, and her debut CD, The Cat Came Back: Stories and Songs with a Jazzy Twist, won a Parents Choice Silver Award.
