Tim Lowry
Audiences across the country enjoy storyteller Tim Lowry, as he mixes stories from American History with a variety of folktales, ghost tales, and personal narrative. The award-winning recording artist and author has performed on television and in hundreds of appearances nationwide. When he is not on the road, he makes his home in Summerville, South Carolina, where he often performs stories of southern culture and history from the “Sweet Tea Trail.” He has recorded a number of storytelling CDs, filmed a DVD, and written a storytelling handbook. “From the time he took to the stage, Tim Lowry claimed the full attention of his audience. They followed him wherever he was performing. They loved Tim’s style, his humor, his material and the man himself.” – Connecticut Storytelling Festival
