HAMMERED DULCIMER MUSIC

Embedded Files
I’ve been playing hammered dulcimer since around 1998. Back then, I started a dulcimer jam session with Portland dulcimer players. John Keys used to come to the jam session and wanted to form a band. We called ourselves Beltaine. I played with Beltaine for about 13 years and helped record 3 of Beltaine’s CDs. Since 2013, I’ve been with a band called Five-Euro Tip. Five-Euro Tip plays international folk music for family dances and a variety of music for retirement centers and farmer’s markets. I also play with the Portland Waltz Band at the annual Peninsula Park waltz in August. Other instruments that I play are the marimbula and guitar.
Thank you for visiting my page!
I am currently looking for opportunities to play music indoors as a busker or just as background music for an event. If you have a business close to Clackamas, Oregon and would like some music, please contact me,

Below are a few recordings from my current set list to give you an idea of what the dulcimer sounds like and what I play.
Technical difficulties: After clicking on the play button, the recording takes a few seconds to start. My apologies for the wait!
