Noseflute and folk-instrument storytelling
Hear stories punctuated by noseflute and clacking bones
Mike Anderson / The Dulcimer Guy / Hugo Kringle
Mike Anderson offers commissioned family-event storytelling and music using uncommon instruments including noseflute, jaw harp and bones. His owned program menu also offers an adult adaptation. Separately, his fictional Hugo Kringle character presents child-oriented holiday songs and stories, with a specifically offered live virtual visit for an invited group. These are selectable inquiries, not one bundled show.
Current location note / listed area: Jacksonville, Illinois · provider-listed operation
Confirm the exact performer, instrument lineup, audience ages, social-party adaptation, venue, amplification, travel and date directly. Virtual Hugo is a separate online format, especially aimed at children eight and younger; no onsite appearance or physical gift is assumed. The owned calendar has explicit 2026–27 bookings, but some pages retain placeholders and an incorrect template telephone link: use the displayed genuine email/phone. Illinois attribution comes from the current provider profile, not the mailing box alone.
