Welcome, fellow travelers, to my musical realm! Feel free to explore...
You will find that each of my songs is deeply tied to a story. With my singing and playing, I seek to create mystical and mythical journeys guided by an acoustic heart, which is the mountain dulcimer… This music is meant to nurture hope and affirm the goodness and beauty of life. My style incorporates a Romantic blend of medieval, Celtic, folk, and world music along with newer influences. In live performance, my dulcimers are heralds of quiet joy, healing, and life well lived. They are especially suited to small, intimate gatherings and events, but they may also be effectively accommodated in larger venues.
I would be happy to musically accompany a special occasion in your life, to share the essence of the music that I love with others in a performance setting, or to teach about the mountain dulcimer and how it can be a source of personal enrichment.
The above pages will explain and demonstrate my approach to each of these outreaches and provide you with further information so we can explore how my music and instruction may fit into your vision.

ONLINE Interactive WORKSHOP Claiming Your Creative Space & Finding Inspiration Sunday, April 27, 2025, 1-3 p.m. CDT in Zoom
NEW INTERACTIVE INSPIRATIONAL WORKSHOP: “Claiming Creative Space and Finding Inspiration”... Do you ever wish you had more time for creative pursuits like music, crafting, or art? Do you sometimes question whether you are good enough at your creative art? Do you sometimes feel like you are full of ideas but find that something always gets in the way of bringing your visions to fruition? My next workshop will be an invitation to all creative souls (including dulcimer players and other artists and musicians!) who long for more creative space in their lives and greater freedom and confidence in pursuing their inspiration. Drawing from my own experience with creative pursuits as well as my background in teaching music and life skills, I will address obstacles to the creative life and present possible solutions, thought-provoking questions, and interactive activities to break through them into the creative space you crave. Musicians and creatives at all levels are welcome! The event will be 2 hours long (with a break), and registration will be $20 per participant. I will send you a Zoom meeting link and a PayPal link (or Square invoice upon request) once you RSVP by messaging me on Facebook or emailing me at[email protected]. Also, please see my "Letter to Friends Regarding Recordings of Workshops" (4-28-2024).
