Michael Reno Harrell and Josh Goforth

Please join us for a special performance by Michael Reno Harrell & Josh Goforth on Thursday, July 23, 2026, at 7:00 PM in historic McCandless Hall at Athens State University.

The union of nationally recognized storytellers and musicians Michael Reno Harrell and Josh Goforth is such a natural paring that one must wonder why it didn’t occur earlier. Both performers are from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina where acoustic music and storytelling are as much a part of life as the whippoorwill’s call. Having been fans of each other’s work for over two decades, their performances are as natural as the harmonies of brothers. Josh is a multi-instrumentalist, storyteller, and songwriter who carries on the traditions rooted in Appalachian culture. Michael is an award winning songwriter, musician and storyteller whose roots reach back into mists of the southern mountains. Together they bring that experience to the listener with the humor and heart that their forebears are so well known for.

Doors to McCandless Hall open at 6 pm. Purchase your tickets today!
