A fun and entertaining fundraiser for the Sandbar Storytelling Festival, the public is invited to join renowned storyteller Kevin Kling and songstress (and Winona native) Simone Perrin for an evening of storytelling and music Saturday, June 25.
The event begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Saint Cecilia Theatre of Cotter High School, 1115 W. Broadway, Winona.
Kling has performed on stage internationally, but is perhaps best known for his commentary on NPR’s All Things Considered. His unique gift for presenting autobiographical tales in a humorous and heartwarming fashion endears him to audiences. Kling’s literary works highlight stories filled with childhood memories, holiday gatherings, and sibling adventures. A lifelong Minnesotan, Kling never let a birth defect or severe motorcycle accident slow him down.
Joining Kling will be Minneapolis-based theater actress, composer, vocalist, and accordionista Simone Perrin, who has been featured on A Prairie Home Companion. Kling and Perrin frequently collaborate to create a performance that covers a range of humor, tenderness, and music.
The Sandbar Storytelling Festival, the first of its kind in Minnesota, will premiere in Winona Oct. 14-15, 2022. With a mission of promoting the art of storytelling for all ages, this two-day event will include exciting performances and compelling chronicles by renowned international storytellers.
