Adam Booth is a storyteller whose words come from the mountains and reach across communities. Born and raised in the hills of Huntington, West Virginia, his storytelling abilities are formed at the convergence of Appalachian and Jewish heritage. Highly influenced by stories that he heard (and continues to hear) from his great-grandparents and grandparents, storytelling has been known as an important part of his family for over seven generations.
As professional storyteller, Adam has told for audiences throughout the mid-Atlantic region. He has also taught workshops in storytelling. In 2011 the National Storytelling Network recognized his promise as a young storyteller by awarding him the 2011 J.J. Reneaux Mentorship Grant to work with Dovie Thomason as mentor. His storytelling has been recognized in other ways. He has won the Tell! Fredericksburg “Away We Go” summer storytelling contest, the Northeast Storytelling Festival Liar’s Contest, the Autumn Glory Tall Tale Contest, and is a two time recipient of the “Biggest Liar” award from the West Virginia Liar’s Contest.
