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.

NEW MTN. DULCIMER WORKSHOP (Sun., Nov. 17): My next workshop pays tribute to the endearing animal stories of Beatrix Potter by exploring variants of songs featured in her books and in the television series “The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends.” These stories were influential to me in my growth of appreciation for literature, art, and folk music! I am delighted to be able to share versions of the charming folk melodies “Kitty Alone/Uncle Rat,” “Tom, Tom the Piper’s Son” (“Over the Hills and Far Away”), and “The Cuckoo.” Please bring a capo! Arrangements will be suitable for intermediate level players. Registration will be $15 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].
