Sandy Schuman is fascinated by familiar things and their unfamiliar stories. He brings amazing historical tales to life (“some of our folklore is truly unbelievable, some of our history is even more so”) and reveals the little-known stories behind some of our best-known songs. When you hear him play the guitar, you’ll know why he calls himself a storyteller.

As an adult enrichment director, I am always looking for varied programs. Sandy provided a different program by telling stories about songs and songwriters and backing them up with singing the songs and playing the guitar. He told his stories in a way that created suspense and kept the group waiting for the ending. ~Barbara W.

The power of story was never stronger than when Sandor Schuman, Storyteller Extraordinaire, spent Sunday afternoon with us at Knesseth Israel Synagogue. The audience was spellbound, and for days afterward, I would meet people around town and hear how much they enjoyed the program. ~Suzanne J. S.

We were pleased to welcome Sandy Schuman to our clubhouse in June. What a marvelous experience for all who attended! His dry wit and wonderful stories stirred memories, some long forgotten, in our listeners. Along with much laughter, we learned history and needless to say, there were quite a few teary eyes. Bravo to a wonderful performance. ~Connie H.
