(Some Presenters Will Only Be at the Festival One Day As Indicated in the Schedule)
Concert,
Mini-Concert, & Workshop Presenters
Making their first appearance at
a Dulci-More Festival, Tina Bergmann and Bryan Thomas are northeast Ohio-based
folk artists performing an eclectic repertoire of traditional American, Celtic
and South American music. The much acclaimed duo performs on hammered dulcimer
and bass with great warmth and technical skill, showcasing the remarkable
breadth of the tonal range and timbre of their instruments.
Tina and Bryan have traveled the
United States, performing and instructing in a great variety of venues. They
have two books and four recordings, which receive international airplay.
Tina and Bryan create engaging concerts of traditional American fiddle tunes and waltzes, string band rags and Celtic jigs and reels, with a sprinkling of South American gems and the occasional Classical piece thrown in for good measure. Within a concert Tina and Bryan discuss their music and create a rapport with the audience so the listeners gain an understanding of the history of the tunes as well as a sense of who the performers are. With their playful and relaxed stage presence they create an entertaining and memorable program ideal for a multitude of events.
Tina and Bryan have been
performing together for ten years. This husband and wife duo met at college
where Tina was pursuing a Bachelor of the Arts in Music Education and Bryan
received a Bachelor of Music in Bass Performance. Their mutual love of and
interest in music of many cultures brought them together and they began
performing together in the fall of 1995. They were married in June of 1998 and
now have two wonderful children: Isabel, born on
Tina is a self-taught musician brought up in the aural tradition who became an instructor and played professionally at an early age. At age 12 she established a thriving private studio and went on to perform and instruct at festivals and camps around the country. Her love for the hammered dulcimer and the music she makes is easily felt by audience members, workshop attendees and private students alike. She is known for her driving energy and syncopated rhythms and was described by Pete Seeger as "The best hammered dulcimer player I’ve heard in my life."
Bryan began playing music in his grade school string program on cello before he discovered there was something bigger and switched to the bass. His playing has been influenced greatly by his exposure to Ray Brown, Gary Karr, David Walter, and particularly Francois Rabbath. Bryan can be heard as a soloist and support musician in an incredible array of diverse situations such as symphonic and chamber ensembles, salsa and swing bands, playing and singing jazz, blues, bluegrass, Cuban music, American old time, as well as helping to create Ohio Arts Council projects involving poetry, art dance, theater, visual arts and community works.
Tina and Bryan’s joy in their music is readily apparent. A quote from their newest release, All Roads Lead Home, says it all ".... Like most people, we are exposed to music and stories from all over the world. The common thread of the music here is how we’ve chosen to own what we’ve found. We travel many roads in our lives, and when we encounter something that rings true, we take it home."
Terry Leonino and Greg Artzner began to play music together in Kent,
Ohio in September of 1973. They chose the name Magpie for their band, a name
which grew in personal significance for them as years went by. Terry was a
student in her senior year at Kent State University in the fall of '73, and
when she graduated the following spring, she and Greg packed Greg's VW bus and
moved to the Washington, DC area. In the years since then, they have traveled
and toured extensively, performed in concerts, at folk clubs and festivals
around the world, and recorded many times.
Terry's voice is a truly impressive instrument, not only because of its
natural power, but also because of her versatility. She is a gifted singer of
jazz and blues in the tradition of Connie Boswell and Billie Holiday, but is
equally comfortable with the subtle beauty of traditional folk and contemporary
songs. Add to this her uncanny ability to find the perfect harmony line, and,
in a powerful blend of their two voices, you have a real treat for the ear. As
if this weren't enough, Terry is also an excellent player of the harmonica,
mandolin, fretted dulcimer, and rhythm guitar.
Greg is an outstanding guitarist whose fingerstyle approach owes a lot
to his heroes, guitar legends such as Reverend Gary Davis, Big Bill Broonzy,
Nick Lucas, Phil Ochs, and Rolly Brown. His playing is the solid basis of
Magpie's sound, providing whatever is called for, whether it be a hard-driving
rhythm, or a ringing lyrical beauty. From a slow Scots air or a plaintive
ballad to a rollicking ragtime blues or infectious swing, Greg covers it all.
His high baritone voice has equal range and his captivating interpretation
gives power and beauty to the full spectrum, from growling blues, to a Chilean
lament, to a sweet croon.
From the beginning Terry and Greg's interests in various musical styles
have led them to be eclectic in their repertoire. Rather than confine
themselves to a single style, Magpie has always embraced a musical rainbow, and
with impressive proficiency in each different genre. From traditional, classic
country, swing, and blues of the nineteen twenties and thirties, to
contemporary songs written by themselves and others, Terry and Greg cover a lot
of musical ground.
They are now well into their 31st year together as professional musicians. So far their music has taken them to folk festivals and concert stages throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, and Italy. They are known for concerts, special programs, school performances, political issues, the environment, and recordings. In collaboration with Smithsonian's Environmental Research Center, they wrote and performed a musical for the Smithsonian's Discovery Theater called "Tales of the Blue Crab". They have expanded the scope of writing, producing, and performing with a stage play about abolitionists John Brown and his wife Mary, entitled "Sword of the Spirit," and a companion CD of songs on Sliced Bread Records by the same title (these performances will be featured when they return to Salem for the Zadok Street Festival on the first weekend of July for Salem’s Bicentennial celebration). This is their first Dulci-More Festival. They are from Maryland.
Lesley and Pauline Miller are a daughter and mother combination from Bowling Green in northwestern Ohio. At the Roscoe Village Dulcimer Days Regional Competitions in 2003, Lesley won the hammered dulcimer contest and placed second in the mountain dulcimer competition while the pair of them won the dulcimer duet competition. She was back again for second place in mountain dulcimer in 2004 and second place in hammered dulcimer in 2005 at Roscoe Village. Lesley also placed first in the hammered and mountain dulcimer competitions at Kentucky State in 2004 while Pauline placed second in the mountain dulcimer competition. Lesley was still in high school when they came for Dulci-More Festival 10 (the first time she led workshops as happened with Mark Wade and Robert Samels several years ago at earlier Dulci-More Festivals). They were back for Dulci-More Festival 11. Pauline also plays mountain dulcimer and hammered dulcimer. Lesley released her first recording early in 2005 with guest artists including Pauline Miller, Scott Brooks, and Mark Alan Wade.
Kathy Moser is a songwriter, performer, teacher and
social artist, working to bring positive change to the world through music. She
performs regularly throughout the Northeast. Kathy has appeared at well known
folk venues such as Club Passim and Godfrey Daniels, as well as colleges,
churches, coffeehouses, prisons, and benefits too numerous to mention! Known
for her poetic lyrics, driving guitar style, and goofy stage presence, her
songs confront a variety of topics ranging from world peace to lawn mowers,
dysfunctional families to shopping malls, drug addiction to the wisdom of
trading in your car for a horse. Audiences leave her shows entertained and
uplifted, thoughtful and motivated. 2005 marks her transition from being a part time east
coast musician to being a full time national touring artist. With three CDs out
already and a fourth one in the works, she is poised for bigger things.
She is from New Jersey. This will be her first Dulci-More Festival.
Karen Mueller is one of the top autoharp and mountain dulcimer players today. Her exciting and innovative performing style, featuring Appalachian, Celtic, and contemporary music, has been applauded by critics and audiences from LA to Boston. Bluegrass Unlimited magazine has said "Karen Mueller's touch, timing, and taste make her a true virtuoso. Her talent and clarity ... deserve a wide audience." Karen won the 1986 International Autoharp Championship and was a National Dulcimer finalist in 1985, both at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, KS. A native of Winfield, she first attended the festival while in high school and was inspired to learn to play the autoharp and dulcimer by the performers she saw there.
Karen has made her mark on the acoustic music scene as both an interpreter of tradition and an innovator, performing with such legendary artists as Liz Carroll (all-Ireland fiddle champion) and Tony Trischka (banjo master). She has recorded three critically acclaimed solo CDs: Clarity, Still Point, and Autoharp Gourmet, and is featured on the Masters of the Mountain Dulcimer II and Autoharp Legacy CDs. Karen is also the author of Mel Bay Publishing's Celtic Autoharp book and contributor to their Dulcimer 2000 anthology.
While touring extensively as a soloist, she also currently works in the band of Katie McMahon, original lead singer of Riverdance. Karen is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist; besides autoharp and dulcimer, she plays guitar, mandolin, Irish bouzouki, and bass dulcimer. In 2000, the Minnesota Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Association awarded Karen its “Recognition of Excellence”. She has also been an official showcase artist at the North American Folk Alliance Conference.
Based in Minneapolis, Karen is in demand as a performer, studio musician, school residency artist, and instructor. She gives private lessons in the Twin Cities to around 50 students of all ages and levels at West Bank School of Music and Homestead Pickin’ Parlor. Karen is also on the rosters of Young Audiences of Minnesota and the State Arts Board’s Folk Arts Directory. This is Karen’s first Dulci-More Festival.
For the last seven years, Maureen has taught classes and workshops in the Appalachian dulcimer to hundreds of students in more than sixteen states. Covering both how-to-play and the history of the instrument, Maureen brings an enthusiastic and down-to-earth approach to the amateur musician. She utilizes mnemonics and visualization in her teaching style.
Maureen's style and music preferences for the dulcimer are varied. Coming from a childhood exposed to Big Band music, rock and roll, classical, and folk music, she loves almost every type of music. Utilizing the wonderful drones of the dulcimer, Maureen plays traditional music from the Appalachian and Ozark mountains. She also flatpicks songs to create waves of arpeggios that pull the listener into the music. Sing-alongs are interspersed in both her classes and performances. Gospel and sacred music are featured in her classes and concerts.
Maureen approaches both her workshops and performances with a warmth and sense of humor that makes the student and audience feel at ease. She creates a comfortable and creative atmosphere for learning.
Dulci-More: Folk & Traditional Musicians is a
club that started in January 1993, at the First United Methodist Church of
Salem. The purposes of the club are to have fun with folk-style music and to
share that music with others. The club meets at
Marge Diamond began playing Mountain Dulcimer in the mid eighties with virtually no music background but tons of enthusiasm. Through attending Dulcimer workshops and getting in touch with the playing styles of established dulcimer players from all over the country, she found the greatest tool for making friends and having a great time. That is what she teaches others to do. Her early efforts emphasized the playing of fiddle tunes and taking part in a square dance band, The Bentwood Rockers. She then moved on to playing songs that required a little more arranging. Currently Marge plays with The Oberlin Dulcimer Group and Dulci-More. Marge has performed and taught Dulcimer workshops since 1987. She has been on hand teaching and performing at all of the Dulci-More festivals, at the past twelve Fort New Salem Festivals, at several of the Kent State Folk Festivals and has been on hand for some of the COFF festivals. Since retirement in 2003 Marge has been pursuing her love of making art. She will have airbrushed music themed shirts and other items for sale. Look for her latest "Ultimate Totes" with music themes. Marge has one recording, Beyond Cabbage. which is now available on CD.
Guy George is a rhythmic, melodic hammered dulcimer player with a definite jazz influence to his playing style. He also plays saxophones, flute, whistle, steel drum, and keyboard. His wife, Sharrie, performs and records with him on the guitar. Their CD is Dream Castle. Guy also is included on Maddie MacNeil's CD, As Time Goes By. Guy and Sharrie joined us from their home in Concord, Ohio for Dulci-More Festival 7. Demetrius Steinmetz performed along with Guy and Sharrie at Dulci-More Festival 8. At Dulci-More Festival 10, we had Guy George with Tull Glazener. Since then, Guy and Tull have performed together at several festivals. Guy and Sharrie along with Sue Rust joined us for Dulci-More Festival 11.
Humours ’n Hammers (Jan Douglass, Janet Harriman, Lois Mountz, Joyce Strohecker)
Humours ’n Hammers is a group of women who started playing together at Dulci-More meetings. After playing hammered dulcimers together before Dulci-More meetings as part of the third Tuesday workshops, they wanted to try more intricate arrangements than are generally possible with the large group, and so they started meeting together. All play hammered dulcimers, but they might include some of the many other instruments they play on some arrangements including flute, mountain dulcimer, guitar, keyboard, and more. Jan Douglass is from New Waterford. Janet Harriman is from Alliance. Lois Mountz is from Salem. Joyce Strohecker is from Columbiana. They were with us for Dulci-More Festival 10 and 11.
Young musicians Lisa &
Heather Malyuk are newcomers to the folk music scene and this will be their
first time at a Dulci-More Festival, but already they have become celebrated
musicians in northeast Ohio and abroad. Their charming performances featuring
an articulate hammered dulcimer coupled with inventive guitar playing brings
their repertoire of eclectic folk tunes to life.
Lisa & Heather were both home
schooled their entire lives which allowed them to focus their creative
abilities on music and the performing arts. Both girls were introduced to the
piano at age 4. A few years later, Lisa began taking flute lessons and Heather
began her study of the violin. After sometime, Lisa became discontent with the
classical scene and had the opportunity to purchase a hammered dulcimer. The
instrument that was bought on a whim became the joy of her musical career. Lisa
began taking lessons from hammered dulcimer virtuoso, Tina Bergmann, and
quickly developed into a proficient player. It was not long before Heather
purchased a guitar in order to collaborate with Lisa in folk music. Heather
took guitar lessons from Tina Bergmann, as well, and joint lessons under Tina’s
guidance encouraged the girls to explore and develop their take on traditional
folk tunes. While Lisa has shifted her entire focus to music on the hammered
dulcimer, Appalachian dulcimer, and banjo uke, Heather has continued to
progress on violin, guitar, fiddle, and nyckelharpa. As well as staying
occupied with their busy performance and teaching schedules, Lisa & Heather
are both full-time college students at the University of Akron. Lisa is
majoring in dietetics and nutrition, and Heather pursuing a major in music
history with hopes of pursuing the field of ethnomusicology.
In August 2004, Lisa &
Heather recorded their first CD, “Summer’s End”. Lisa & Heather recently
completed their second CD, “Stella”.
Lisa & Heather can be seen
and heard at numerous music venues, art galleries, coffee houses, wineries,
festivals, and private events throughout northeast Ohio. In 2005, Lisa &
Heather had the pleasure of appearing on the Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour in
Lexington, Kentucky, and were privileged to participate in the first annual
Causeway Dulcimer Festival in Bushmills, Northern Ireland. Both girls look
forward to continuing to share their music with new people and in new places as
ambassadors of unique music.
Gary & Toni Sager are from
Waverly, Ohio. In addition to performing and doing workshops for us for their
first time at a Dulci-More Festival, they will also be vending as Prussia
Valley Dulcimers Acoustic Music Shop. Gary became interested in the Mountain
Dulcimer in 1991 after seeing David Schnaufer's "Fischer's Hornpipe"
video on
Toni has been playing the autoharp for about seven years, after getting an Oscar Schmidt as a Christmas present. She had seen a lady playing one at the Fraley Mountain Music Festival at Carter Caves State Resort in Ky. and fell in love with the instrument. Toni mostly plays chord style as she plays along with husband Gary, who plays the mountain dulcimer. She has taught beginner workshops at several regional festivals. She really enjoys getting folks started on the autoharp. Toni and Gary have done occasional performances at several dulcimer festivals. Their recently released recording of instrumentals, Rats in the Fence Corner, features them with appearances by Doug Felt and Stephen Seifert.
Linda Sigismondi is the leader of the Banks of
the Ohio Dulcimer Club in Gallipolis and director of the Fort New Salem
Dulcimer Festival. She has five mountain dulcimer books: Appalachian Ballads
& Songs, Songs from Canal Days, Christmas Songs, Celtic
Tunes, and Old Time and Fiddle Tunes. Linda has released a
recording, Songs from Canal Days, with
Annie Trimble and Curt Cooper combine their vocal and acoustic instrument talents to create South Wind. This duo presents a variety of traditional and contemporary folk music, including Appalachian and Celtic tunes and songs, and original compositions. Annie delights you with her flatpicking and finger picking guitar styles, and also plays mandolin and banjo. Curt contributes his solid guitar backup and tasteful flute and fiddle accompaniment. Curt's clear tenor and Annie's alto voices combine in delightful harmonies on songs ranging from the Childs collection of early Celtic music, to songs of modern Appalachia. Contemporary folk songs, a wide repertoire of children's songs (with their friend, “Roanoke the Duck”), and traditional old-time dance tunes round out South Wind's repertoire. They have one recording released in 2004. They are very active in the folk community in their home area of Pittsburgh and throughout the region. This will be their first time at a Dulci-More Festival.

Special thanks also go to Jim Blum who hosts folk
programming weekend evenings from 8:00 or
These people and others around northeast Ohio (and others around the country and the world) do a great service to folk music by letting people hear new and vintage recordings as well as live music over the air. Tom, Jim, and Jim also are actively involved in promoting and producing live performances by many artists at concerts and festivals. Beyond that, they also give calendar listings over the air and in other formats telling where live folk music is happening (like at Dulci-More Festivals) to inform and remind the public of how great it is to hear this music live. Their efforts help to keep folk music very much alive in Northeast Ohio. We appreciate their efforts.

Special Needs
The activities listed here show the purposes for the festival, as with the club, are for people to jam (from the workshops to campfires, song circles, jams, and gospel sing), to learn (workshops), to listen (concerts and mini-concerts), and to perform (open stages of two types). We run a children's workshop area for kids of all ages during all workshop clusters.
This is our ninth year at beautiful and historic BSA Camp McKinley. The great indoor and covered facilities have let us enjoy all scheduled events despite continuous and heavy rain during a day of Festival 3 and other questionable weather.
Workshops at the festival are run in beginner, advanced beginner, intermediate, advanced, and general levels for many song styles and many instruments. Some instruments are available for loan so that anyone can get in on the fun and learning.
Pre-registered group discounts are available. Inquire about them before the festival.
Children are always welcome with responsible adults.
On-site Camping is primitive, meaning that there are no hook-ups available. Bunk spaces in Zaplata Cabin at camping rates are available until all are taken (no facilities in cabin, but an outhouse is close). Rest rooms and showers are available at the camp.
Campers wanting hook-ups should make their own reservations at another campsite.
