Doug Elliott (Entertainer)
Biography:
Whether he's pointing out poison ivy, pontificating on poke sallet, crooning about creasy greens, singing about berries, extolling the virtues of dandelions, or telling wild snake tales, Doug Elliott is known for his lively storytelling as well as his broad, practical, scientific, and cultural knowledge of useful wild plants, all flavored with regional dialects, soulful harmonica riffs, and more than a few belly laughs.
“Unique and informative, Doug Elliott is more than an entertainer, he carries within him a rich body of folklore and wisdom,” said Laurie Quesinberry, Floyd Herb Fest Founder and Organizer.
Doug lives in the southern Appalachian Mountains and is an award-winning herbalist and storyteller. He has spent a great deal of time with traditional country folk and indigenous people, learning their stories, folklore, and traditional ways of relating to plants. In recent years he has performed and taught from Canada to the Caribbean. He has been a featured storyteller at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee, and has conducted workshops and programs at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. He has taught regularly at the International Herb Symposium, the Green Nations Gathering, and Omega Institute. He has trained rangers for the National Park Service and guided people on wilderness experiences from Down East Maine to the Florida Everglades. He was named harmonica champion at Fiddler's Grove Festival in Union Grove, North Carolina.
