What Folks are Saying
he draws you in
"Part of what makes Kanute magical is his authenticity. The experiences he shares might not be the exact experiences you have had, but the moment he shares them, you are drawn in and you harken to a place in your heart that is new and old at the same time. That is why, if he switches to a tall tale or a folk tale, the place he takes us is as real as the living land of The Velveteen Rabbit."
- Andy Offutt Irwin,
Award-winning, nationally-recognized storyteller, humorist and musician
sharing his enthusiasm
“Kanute Rarey’s deep love of storytelling infuses all that he does. As an event producer, he works tirelessly to share the art form with others, and when he tells stories, his enthusiasm shines through in personal stories and folktales sprinkled with universal truths.”
- Amanda Lawrence,
Featured regional teller and co-founder of Georgia Mountain Storytelling Festival
