A storytelling class in the fall of 1980 paved the way for John Porcino to choose the life of a professional storyteller-musician. Thousands of
performances and workshops later his love of the simple art continues to
deepen. His is co-editor of the award winning book Spinning Tales: Weaving Hope, author of feature articles in Family Fun magazine, and a contributor to the
books The Healing Heart and Joining In. A compilation of his stories may be found on the recording, A Heck of a Way to Stay Warm.

John has been described as “a combination of Robin Williams, Pete Seeger and Captain Kangaroo.” Don't miss this opportunity to hear one of the finest raconteur's around.
