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
I have been playing and performing for about 7 years , sometimes with a band, mostly solo. I have played with a bluegrass band,"Free Spirit" and as part of a trio " ON Track ". I have been competing in the Southern Regionals of the mountain dulcimer contest since 1993.Have you performed in front of an audience?Gigs , so far , playing at Cabotfest and 2nd Place Cafe in Little Rock.Have had several gigs at "Sweet Perks Coffee House in Cabot. I play with sessions on Monday at various venues in Little Rock AR.
Your musical influences
My influences , Great Cletic bands , Altan, Lunasa. My background includes Rock and bluess , but am in love with Celtic and Irish music.Anything else?
i love the sounds of pipes. Irish pipes. trying to get that sound into my playing.Pinewind

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

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! Pine
