See Josh Goforth and Michael Reno Harrell for the Holidays!
Michael Reno Harrell and Josh Goforth deliver a heartwarming and humorous stocking full of songs and stories to Jonesborough just in time for the holidays. Having roots that go back for several generations in the Blueridge Mountains, Michael and Josh invite you to share in that rich heritage as they take us back to a time when music and stories were as much a part of Christmas as hot cider and striped candy.
