| Introduction | Jeff started learning the mountain dulcimer and honoring its musical beginnings at the age of nine by watching his grandparents play. As Jeff grew so did his love of music and his ability to play songs that were not customarily played on a mountain dulcimer. Jeff won the 2006 Southern Regional Mountain Dulcimer Competition held in Mountain View, AR. and in September of that same year became the 2006 National Mountain Dulcimer Champion by winning the National Contest held in Winfield, KS. Jeff has a very active calendar teaching workshops and private lessons as well as performing. With the release of his first CD, It's Dulcimer Time, Jeff has opened yet another door in his career creating three original compositions. With these you can get a feel for the wide range of Jeff's talent. As his musical knowledge has grown, he has discovered that the dulcimer is not limited to one style of music. The CD is full of life and represents the interests that we all had as a teenager, great music and hot cars. It includes rock and roll, heart breaking ballads, blues and some fast paced dance tunes. |
