Listen "EP 92 - Donald Davis: How stories connect us"
Episode Synopsis
Totally geeked-out about talking to Donald Davis. My daughters grew up listening to his stories and hearing him for the first time changed my life.
He’ll be telling stories at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival at Thanksgiving Point on Sept. 7-9.
Donald Davis has been telling stories at national festivals for more than 40 years.
He was born in a Southern Appalachian mountain world, rich in stories. While he heard many traditional stories about Jack and other heroic characters, he was most attracted to the stories of his own family and places of origin.
During his twenty-five year career as a United Methodist Minister, Davis began to use stories more and more. He was also asked to begin performing at festivals and in other settings until he retired from the church to tell stories full time.
The author of eighteen books and more than forty original recordings, Davis is the recipient of both the Circle of Excellence and the Lifetime Achievement Awards from the National Storytelling Network.
