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.

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
Haunting, emotional, full of imagery, and full of earthiness. Wonderfully played...nice recording. Loved it! Pinedog
Hey- really nice stuff. I have a mountain dulcimer and you inspire me to get back to it! Very nice!
Just had a listen to the Irish set...lovely playing. We must be related somehow way down the line... :) Ron Jenkins Salty Dog
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.
