Rev. Robert B. Jones
When you couple authenticity with talent of a truly exceptional nature: a pastor, a songwriter, a storyteller, a multi-instrumentalist, an award winning educator with an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of African American folk music, including blues, spiritual, and slave songs…its players and styles…you get the Reverend Robert B. Jones, Sr. from Detroit, Michigan.
Bil Lepp
A nationally renowned storyteller and five time champion of the West Virginia Liars’ Contest, Bil’s outrageous, humorous tall-tales and witty stories have earned the appreciation of listeners of all ages and from all walks of life.
His stories often contain morsels of truth which shed light on universal themes. Be it a hunting trip, a funeral, or a visit to the dentist, Bil can find the humor in any situation. Lepp explains that while his stories may not be completely true, they are always honest.
Jim Lavender
Jim Lavender, storyteller, is a child of the Luxapalila Swamp country near "Possumtown" (Columbus), Mississippi. His stories are about growing up in the Mississippi swamp country, with family in the candy business, farm supply business, and fairgrounds operations; animal stories, youthful adventures, and a storybook career as a pastor. Humor and homespun stories carry strong entertainment value with subtle positive life lessons for all ages.
