Performance storyteller Nancy Valois weaves her stories and draws the audience in so completely that you'll find yourself saying, more more. Stories are told in dramatic form without using book to the wild beats and guitar music of John Salonen.

Nancy and John lead us on a fun filled journey in a lively program of tales and music about origins and beginings. With guitar, violin, piano and vocals, they bring humor and facts to this program of songs, superstitions and customs from around the world.

All original stories that capture you, you'll find yourself in Upper State Northern Magnolia on the coast of Southern Saturnia in a town called Western Padagonia, with all the characters from 'Mr. Mean and His Potato Chip Dream' or be drawn in to the planet of Skydom and the village of Purplania and meet the Snerdells and the Smellders and find out how they deal with finding out which of the colors of the rainbow is best, and why, using humor, orig. music and songs.

Finland born John Salonen and US born Nancy Valois have released over 30 CDs in their 33 plus years as a group.
