STORYTELLING
World Wisdom & Travel Tales
Through his research trips and study of ethnomusicology, Greg has collected amazing stories from around the planet. These stories are filled with life lessons for modern society. Presented as edutainment, each has a wonderful nugget of folk wisdom to delight and inspire audiences from elementary to elder ages.
Greg’s niche is telling stories to rhythms and soundscapes that ignite the imagination. This unique style also improves attention by simultaneously stimulating both the right and left hemispheres of the brain — biohacking your neurology for better cognition! These stories are exciting already, and the addition of live music really brings them to life.
Greg is a member (and board member-at-large) of the North Carolina Storytelling Guild.
