Good Times at the 42nd Annual Kindred Gathering
Shortly after we'd settled into our new apartment here in Queen Anne, Seattle, I packed up the dulcimer and headed down to Rainier, OR for a weekend of fun, friends, and dulcimer music known as the Kindred Gathering. I was so impressed by the love and kindness that I was welcomed with to my new dulcimer community. I'm so happy to have met so many wonderful and inspiring people and musicians. Thank you for a great weekend of music! I hope there are many more to come!
Here I am playing with Robert Force, a huge inspiration for the music I play. It was an incredible experience meeting him, hearing his stories, and playing his songs with him, some of which I've known for a long long time. Thanks Robert!

Upcoming Shows in Boulder, Colorado!
Dulcimer Showcase!
Karen Alley (hammered dulcimer) and I will be playing at my very favorite brewery here in Boulder this weekend!
I'm super excited to share the stage with such a talented musician--I've never played with a hammered dulcimer player before but her music is awesome, check it out below! I'm very happy that we get the chance to bring a new sound to each other's music, and hopefully this isn't the only time we'll get to collaborate.
So, it promises to be a very fun night, and I'm really looking forwards to it! Dulcimer Showcase!
