"Dots and Lines"
|
|
In his first solo dulcimer album,
"Dots and Lines," Eric Elliott uses both acoustic and solid-body
electric mountain dulcimers to lend a unique sound to his seemingly
straightforward, but lush and warm songwriting. This is certainly not a
traditional "dulcimer album," although the dulcimer plays a central part in
each song, as he re-defines the image of this traditional bluegrass/gospel
instrument, and uses it’s versatile and poignant sound to define his own unique
brand of folk, Rock, jazz, Americana, and pop.

"A Walk Through Winter"

Simply a few piano songs that Eric found himself playing more and more often as the days got shorter and nights got colder. All songs are continuous and accompanied by the background sounds of a fire. Perhaps these songs will keep you as warm as they have kept him.
