If you haven’t heard him tell a story, you really must. Award-winning Storyteller Tim Lowry is
nationally known, and he’s Summerville’s own.
That’s right! He travels the
nation to storytelling events, is engaged by schools and other groups to share
his southern wit and wisdom, and he is also a tour guide for Summerville
Trolley Tours. He can say the Lord’s
Prayer in Gullah, as well as share local Gullah folk tales. On Good Eats tours, you will hear how food is
interwoven into our very social fabric in the south. You’ll also stop at some of Tim’s favorite
places around Summerville, which serve up delicious treats and sweet tea.
Tim recently performed his show, “Out’N’No Book,” at the
James Dean Theater on Main Street on a Friday night. It was recorded for the release of his new CD
of the same title. Appropriate for all
ages, his stories evoked laughter, tears, and contemplation, sticking with the
listeners long after that evening was over.
Those of us at Summerville Trolley Tours may be biased, since Tim is one
of ours, but . . . nah. Without bias, we
can confidently tell you that this man has a gift!
Tim’s work on Summerville’s Sweet Tea Trail has been so
instrumental in growing our tourism, that he won a prestigious award in the
spring. ConventionSouth Media Group
bestowed the 2014 Southern
Hospitality Recognition of Excellence Award upon Tim just a few months ago.
You can catch Tim on the Good Eats on the Sweet Tea Trail
every third Friday of the month at 10:30 am, complete with straw hat, bow tie,
and apron. You can also check out his
website here and find him on Facebook here.
