Mark your calendars for Tunes & Tales on Friday, September 6th at the Southeast Missouri State University River Campus! Michael Reno Harrell and the Reverend Robert Jones will present good 'ol "Appalachian grit and wit" meets gutsy Detroit folk and blues for an evening of spirited storytelling told with American roots music.
Michael Reno Harrell is an award winning songwriter as well as a veteran storyteller and entertainer, and he's from the South...the Southern Appalachian Mountains, to hone it a bit finer. His humor and wit, as well as the emotional depth of his work, keep his fan base growing and staying tuned in for whatever comes next.
For over 30 years, Reverend Robert B. Jones, Sr. has performed throughout the United States, Canada and Europe with the message that traditional American songs and stories have much to teach us. He loves songs that tell stories, and finds that many of his songs and stories are inspired by people he's known. Often too, Jones finds that the Bible provides great poetic language and imagery for song writing and storytelling.
