Adam carries a large repertoire of traditional Appalachian folktales learned from people met on his storytelling journeys, from other storytellers, from archival research in audio and print collections throughout the Central Appalachian region, and those he recalls experiencing in childhood. This repertoire includes journey tales, wonder tales, Jack tales, cryptids, spooky tales, tall tales, folk belief of omens and signs, idioms, and natural practices. These stories represent the rich oral traditions and storytelling repositories of the region, reflecting cultures from around the world which have called Appalachia home.

Adam’s repertoire includes traditional stories for most ages and can be programmed according to age-appropriateness to teach lessons, demonstrate folk belief, introduce people to Appalachia, correlate with themes, or simply to entertain. Adam believes in old-time ‘end-of-the-day’ storytelling, where a single story can run for quite a long time.  

Individual programs can run from fifteen minutes to two hours with intermission.
