Mountain Dulcimer Player, I live near Little Rock AR. I have been playing with the Little Rock Irish Sessions since 1996. I have been playing the Mountain Dulcimer for 12 years. I play the Dulcimer in what is called a Chord/ Melody Style.
I also have been working on the "old Timey Fiddle tunes, pre-1941 era. I love the haunting and quiet sounds of the dulcimer and hope you will enjoy too.Band/artist history

One of the best and coolest mt dulcimer songs i ever heard. You are one fine player Jeff....you should stop into SC more often. You are a rare visitor! I did a tune called whistlepig that you might like better then my "psychedelic dulcimer" in Night Sky.
Don't be a stranger!

Haunting, emotional, full of imagery, and full of earthiness. Wonderfully played...nice recording. Loved it!

Great "mountain spirit" in your playing, Jeff. Makes me want to put a new set of strings on my dulcimer :-). We have some olde timey/traditional tunes you might like.
