Description

The union of nationally recognized storytellers and musicians Michael Reno Harrell and Josh Goforth is such a natural paring that one must wonder why it didn’t occur earlier. The reason was just a matter of scheduling, both being in such demand in their own rights. But once that union occurred the acceptance was so positive that performing together had to become part of their itineraries.

Both performers are from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina where acoustic music and storytelling are as much a part of life as the whippoorwill’s call. Having been fans of each other’s work for over two decades, their performances are as natural as the harmonies of brothers.

Josh is a multi-instrumentalist, storyteller and songwriter who carries on the traditions rooted in Appalachian culture.

Michael is an award winning songwriter, musician and storyteller whose roots reach back into mists of the southern mountains.

Together they bring that experience to the listener with the humor and heart that their forebears are so well know for. From standing ovations at the National Storytelling Festival to arts council performances to folk clubs and conventions across the country, Michael Reno Harrell and Josh Goforth are carrying on the traditions of their indigenous mountain home.
