Donald Davis Concert

Donald Davis, one of America’s favorite master storytellers, is coming to the Jackson Theatre on April 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. The two-night storytelling concert will feature Davis telling different stories each evening.

Davis was born in a Southern Appalachian Mountain world that was rich in stories. “I didn’t learn stories, I just absorbed them,” Davis says as he recounts tales learned from a family of traditional storytellers who lived on the same Western North Carolina land since 1781.

Davis’ resume includes Davidson College, Duke University Divinity School, work as a retired Methodist minister, and former chairperson of the board of directors for the National Storytelling Association. He is a favorite at the National Storytelling Festival and has also served as a featured teller at the Smithsonian Institution, the World’s Fair, as well as festivals and concerts throughout the United States and the world.

For Donald Davis, storytelling is a way of giving and living life. He invites each listener to come along, pull deep inside for one’s own stories, and share in the common experiences that celebrate the creative spirit. For Donald Davis, storytelling “is not what I do for a living, but it is how I do all that I do while I am living.”

The performances will take place at The Jackson Theatre in historic downtown Jonesborough.

Enjoy two nights of stories from Donald Davis with general admission each evening being $16. A special group rate for 15 or more people is available for $13 per person.
