Michael Reno Harrell is an award winning songwriter, a published author, a nationally known storyteller and visual artist.  He’s from the Southern Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina where all those things are as much a part of life as breathing.  Michael’s talents have taken him to forty-four states and several foreign countries over his over fifty plus year career.

His work is based on life experiences that reflect the culture of his mountain roots, which go back eight generations.  Michael’s stories, songs and artworks reflect not only the southern experience, but also American’s story.  

One could compare Michael’s performances to his granddaddy’s pocket knife: well worn and familiar feeling, but razor sharp and with a point. His brand of entertainment appeals to a very diverse audience.  Michael’s natural knack for storytelling, in print, song and spoken word has earned him praise from not only the music community but from the literary and storytelling worlds as well, having had the honor of being a Featured Teller at the National Storytelling Festival and to be Teller In Residence at the International Storytelling Center, as well as performing at major music events like MerleFest and the Walnut Valley Festival.  Michael often conducts workshops in songwriting and storytelling as well.

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. Don’t miss the chance to experience what those faithful fans keep returning again and again to enjoy
