Mike Agranoff:
Mike Agranoff comes to the Storytelling Community via the world of Folk Music. There, he’s renowned for the spoken word material he always includes within the context of his musical performances. His signature pieces are his riveting original recitations after the fashion of Robert Service. But his toolbox also includes conventional first-person stories, both serious and hilarious, poems, and, of course, numerous ballads (in the original sense of the word: songs that tell stories.), all honed to performance perfection. His stories are directed at adults, although they are not unsuitable for children. He looks for his inspiration at tellers like Utah Phillips, Gamble Rogers, Arlo Guthrie, Tony Barrand, and in some ways Garrison Keillor and Will Rogers. He holds a great love of the English language, and an admiration for its skillful practitioners.
He has performed numerous times at the New Jersey Storytelling Festival, as well as the Red Mill Museum Village Storytelling Festival and other venues including several public libraries. He has also showcased at the National Storytelling Conference.
