School Performances: Continuing his family tradition
of preserving culture and teaching through stories passed down to
him from his parents and grandparents, Gran'daddy Junebug teaches
personal responsibility and respect for self and others through
the African oral tradition of "call and response." This high energy,
hour program uses audience participation as he shares his wisdom
on being true to self, finding your right path, coping with peer
pressure and always trying to do the best you can. The stories are
developmentally appropriate for elementary, middle and high schools.
Public Performances: Programs can be created from his repertoire of over 28 hours of memorized stories and poems, based on the needs of the presenting organization and the audience. He weaves history into his powerful motivational messages that transpire and inspire through his captivating presentations. Gran'daddy Junebug leaves his audiences with the ancient wisdom and cultural knowledge of cooperation, collective responsibility, the importance of community, shared goals, empathy, and always striving for excellence. You will experience spiritual renewal and a connection to the past. This is "edutainment at its best!" Mitch Capel aka Gran'daddy Junebug Touring Rosters
