Daniel Wallace is a storyteller extraordinaire. He's the author of five novels including Big Fish, which was made into a movie by Tim Burton. Django Haskins knows song like its nobody's business. The Durham-based musician has recorded nine albums.
These two creative powerhouses joined forces recently for Fables in Story and Song. The men traded song and story live in front of a capacity crowd at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill.
The evening was a lot of fun. First Wallace told stories accompanied by Haskins. Then Haskins sang songs from his repertoire that tell a complete story.
Have a few minutes? Settle in and listen to a sample from the evening: a story, a song, and the one story/song that brought the two men together.
