Award-winning performer Regi Carpenter has toured her shows and workshops throughout the U.S. and abroad.. A fifth-generation St. Lawrence River “river rat,” Carpenter is the youngest daughter in a family that pulsates with contradictions: religious and raucous, tender but terrible, unfortunate yet irrepressible. Featured on SiriusXM Radio, The Moth, and National Public Radio, her stories celebrate the glorious and gut-wrenching lives of multiple Carpenter generations growing up in a small town on a big river with an undercurrent.

As she affectionately unrolls her tapestries drawn from generations along the St. Lawrence River… she weaves the threads of genuine reflection, baby boomer sensibilities, and whimsical song. In a word, captivating. — Cape Girardeau Storytelling Festival
