Everybody’s got a tale but no better tales will be told than those told at the 2018 Pike Piddlers Storytelling Festival on Jan. 26 and 27 in Pike County.

The sponsoring Brundidge Historical Society will bring four nationally and internationally acclaimed storytellers to the We Piddle Around Theater in Brundidge and the Trojan Center Theater on the campus of Troy University.

Donald Davis, Josh Goforth, Tim Lowry and Elizabeth Ellis will headline this year’s festival.

Davis, the Dean of Storytelling, will return to the festival by popular demand.

Goforth is a highly acclaimed storyteller and a Grammy nominee for his fiddle and banjo playing. He has appeared at the Grand Ole Opry and at Carnegie Hall and received standing ovations at both.

Lowry is a fire and brimstone preacher or the teller of tales in the Gullah language of the people of his native South Carolina.

All tellers for the 2018 Pike Piddlers Storytelling Festival appear at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tenn..
