Pull up a chair and let me tell you a story. You’ll laugh, nod, and maybe connect with a few memories. I’m Southwest Virginia storyteller Wayne Jordan, and I tell Appalachian stories about everyday folks and the lessons that stick with us.
I live in Galax, Virginia, and travel throughout Southwest Virginia for library, museum, festival, and company events. Each program is shaped to fit the room; clean, warm, and built to connect.
I’ve been a musician, actor, radio host, auctioneer, and Toastmaster—work that taught me how to read a crowd and keep a story moving. I bring that same timing and humor to the stage, with stories that feel real and leave people smiling.
Let’s talk about your next event and find the stories that will make it one to remember. You can reach me through my Blue Ridge Tales website.
If you’re looking for storytelling that feels genuine, grounded, and full of heart, I’d love to bring a few tales your way.
