Bio
Terrell Shaw is a Georgia storyteller specializing in folktales, personal narratives, ghost stories, and tall tales rooted in Southern memory, humor, and history.
A retired educator with 33 years in the classroom, Terrell later served as storyteller/naturalist at the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Arrowhead Environmental Education Center, where he used stories to spark curiosity about history, folklore, wildlife, and the natural world.
He has performed at storytelling festivals, schools, libraries, camps, churches, folk schools, and community gatherings across the Southeast, including appearances at Stone Soup Storytelling Festival and Hagood Mill Storytelling Festival.
A longtime member of Georgia’s storytelling community, he helped cofound the Ridge and Valley Storytelling Guild and served for eight years on the board of the Georgia Storytelling Network.
Terrell is also a multiple-time winner of Big Fibbers storytelling contests and is known for blending warmth, wit, and the everyday absurdities of ordinary life into stories that feel both deeply Southern and widely human.
