The Storycrafters

Story: The Fisherman's Son & the Gruagach of Tricks

Teller:  Barbara McBride-Smith

Notes: Barry Marshall, and Jeri Burns, PhD have been working together as The Storycrafters since 1991, and have been storytellers for even longer than that. In addition to being nationally renowned storytellers, they are award-winning radio show hosts, recording artists, writers, and the parents of a fiddle-playing, tapdancing classical singer who accompanies them whenever his busy schedule allows. Their creative work as storytellers is rivaled by their creativity in making child-care arrangements for their busy lives as a ‘family on the road’.
