2/17-19/2012 - Dulcimer Doin’s, Maria Stein, Ohio, sponsored by the Mountain Dulcimer Society of Dayton. A unique and well-run gathering which emphasizes jamming, friendship, eating, and more jamming! I will be teaching a workshop on Embellishing Celtic Airs. There are also classes for hammered dulcimer, old-time banjo, creative song writing, and many more. There will be concerts Friday and Saturday night and plenty of open stage opportunities. Dulcimer players from at least a 5 state area attend this wonderful event. If you are looking for low stress, some instruction, lots of jamming, and good friends, this is the place for you!
3/31/2012 - Listen Local, (Concert 8:00 – 10:00 pm) 220 S. Elm Street Greensboro, NC, sponsored by the Triad Acoustic Stage. “Listen Local” is a juried open mic event presenting acoustic music of all genres. There will be 7 performers (acts) each doing three songs/tunes. This is my first appearance at this event. They have never had a mountain dulcimer performer! Therefore, I will be playing mountain dulcimer and old-time banjo, and my wife, Janet, will join me on fiddle. We will both sing. It sounds like a fun evening with a good variety of excellent live acoustic music. Hope you can be there! For more information about “Listen Local,” go to www.listen-local.com.
