Diane Edgecomb as Teller-In-Residence at International Storytelling Center

Diane Edgecomb is recognized as one of the most versatile voices in storytelling today. Known for her rich characterizations and zany sense of humor, her performances range from Solstice Events rich in seasonal mythology to Celtic tales. Her repertoire also includes numerous original and personal stories, including those that chronicle her journeys in the remote mountain villages of the Kurdish region of Turkey. Edgecomb has been featured on NPR and is a Storytelling World Honors award winner for her CDs and book. She will be accompanied in Jonesborough by harper and vocalist Margot Chamberlain. “A storyteller in the grand tradition, Edgecomb is a virtuoso of the spoken word … an entire cast rolled into one.” – Publishers Weekly
