Tell Me A Story: Brian Miller

The Bemidji Public Library, Beltrami County Historical Society, and the Cass Lake Library are honored to present the series Tell Me a Story-An Exploration of the Art of Storytelling. Join us as we welcome Arne Rennan, Brian Miller, Mary Moose, Joe Sutherland, and Kevin Kling throughout the month of March, live at the Bemidji Public Library and Beltrami History Center, and streaming at the Cass Lake Library.

• Join us as we listen to the songs and stories of the Northwoods lumber camps with Brian Miller, Saturday, March 18, at 1:00 p.m. at the Bemidji Library, and live-streamed at the Cass Lake Public Library. Brian will explain how the Irish influenced music in the Northwoods, and tell the stories of prize-winning fiddler and singer Albert Hannah who worked on the railroad in Shevlin and Hank “Cuckoo of the North” Underwood who would sing on the steps of the Kelliher Hotel and performed at the unveiling of the Paul Bunyan statue in 1937.

The art of storytelling and the sharing of knowledge is one of the most important things we do as humans. Not only do stories entertain and inform, but they also help to explain the world around us. Join us as we welcome a range of diverse storytellers throughout the month of March.
