The Story People of Clallam County and Field Hall Present : Head Bone Rattles: Ghost Stories with Kim Weitkamp

“If we are talking rock and roll, Tina Turner was a national treasure; country has Dolly Parton and in the world of storytelling, we have Kim Weitkamp.” Steve Perry, Highway 89, Sirius XMStoryteller

Storyteller Kim Weitkamp has 10 award-winning albums, executive produced and/or designed 32 albums for other performers and has hosted an award-winning morning show for a tri-state radio network. She joins us in the Sunset Lounge for a special Halloween event featuring some of her most-requested darker stories, speckled with her signature sense of humor and accented with live music.

Weitkamp’s darker stories are some of her most requested pieces all year long, not just around Halloween. Even more surprising is the fact that the audiences find themselves laughing in the oddest of places. Kim’s comedic abilities are on display as she carefully tucks moments of laughter into her darker pieces. A simple and effective way to give the audience a moment to breathe. The best surprise of the night is when she pulls out her guitar and, with a haunting but milk and honey voice, closes several pieces with music.

Weitkamp is never gory or insanely violent, but always quirky, surprising and psychologically unnerving. Women spin off their skin, children rise from frigid waters, and head bones rattle in their graves. This event is not recommended for children under the age of 13.

This event is presented with the Story People of Clallam County who work to to foster the ancient art of storytelling by providing opportunities to tell and listen to stories, offer workshops, produce public events, and maintain a network for storytellers.
