Storytelling Arts of Indiana Presents VISITING MY HOME ON THE MOUNTAIN Featuring Josh Goforth

Storytelling Arts of Indiana will welcome back a Grammy-nominated master fiddler for its biggest fundraiser of the year, Talk of the Town. The show, "Storytelling Arts of Indiana will be a lively mix of music and storytelling on Saturday, April 10, 2021. Due to the governor relaxing some of the COVID-19 restrictions, they are able to present the show to a handful of socially distanced and masked audience members inside the theater at Eugene & Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, while the majority watches from home on Zoom.

Master of nearly 20 instruments, Josh Goforth is an old-time, bluegrass, and swing musician, who is best known for his fiddling, which can be seen in the 2000 feature film "Songcatcher" and PBS documentary "Folkways: The Fiddle." He's performed in 49 U.S. states, as well as Japan and all over Europe. Goforth was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2009 for Best Traditional Folk Album "Cutting Loose," his collaboration with David Holt.

His most recent show in Indianapolis, "Come Sit in My Front Porch," was a fan-favorite of our 2019 season. Because of its popularity, we invited him to headline our annual fundraiser, Talk of the Town, which will feature a mission bid online auction. Audience members can donate here or text "SAI" to 44-321 on their smartphones. Donations allow us to continue to create environments where Hoosiers can hear and share stories, and showcase tellers who inspire diverse audiences.
