Tom Rawson, armed with guitar, lap dulcimer, numerous stories and infectious wit always gets audiences to sing and clap, and sometimes, wild dances break out. Rawson brings his own stories to the stage and delights audiences as he weaves melodies, harmonies and mysteries together. Rawson is a man with a banjo and he’s not afraid to use it. He has been advocating for social justice and kindness to the earth and fellow humans for many decades.

“A Night of Green Tales” will put a smile on your face and some new information in your pockets. You just might leave knowing a little more about the earth when blogger, news writer and climate change expert Richard Pauli takes the stage. Pauli tells an ancient story of King Canute—perhaps the first English king—who set up his throne by the sea and then imagines: If he lived on that shoreline today, what would he see? It is a fascinating story that teaches each individual what you can do to sustain the future.

Mary Anne Moorman, KBCS.FM storyteller, also known as “Auntmama,” serves as emcee for “A Night of Green Tales.” Auntmama adds a small tale and large laughter to any show. She’s gearing up to get down for Earth Day and she will reveal what that means on April 21 when “A Night of Green Tales” lights up the stage at Haller Lake Community Club.
