                  is an award-winning mountain dulcimer 
                  player known for his smooth and expressive style. His gentle, 
                  humorous, and effective teaching style has made him a popular 
                  and highly-rated instructor at numerous mountain dulcimer workshops 
                  across the country. Jeff is a multi-instrumentalist who has 
                  been playing Old-Time music since 1980. Primarily a banjo player 
                  for many years, he developed a rhythmic and melodic style which 
                  has influenced his dulcimer playing. He has an extensive repertoire 
                  of old-time fiddle music which crosses over to a strong interest 
                  in Celtic music. He has a particular fondness for waltzes and 
                  Celtic airs on the dulcimer...

                  Susan Trump 
                   needs 
                  no introduction to many of us, and as always, we're delighted 
                  to have her coming back to our festival. Susan sings eloquently 
                  of the things in our lives that really matter: songs of home, 
                  hills, farms, and small town America. Her skill on mountain 
                  dulcimer, guitar, and banjo is amazing (as well as award-winning), 
                  her humor is warm and uplifting, and her teaching has touched 
                  many of us in ways beyond measure. She lives right here in the 
                  Albany area, but the Appalachian Mountains are in her heart 
                  and in her music.
