Tina Bergmann and Bryan Thomas are Ohio-based folk artists. 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. They 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. Their playful and relaxed stage presence creates an entertaining and memorable program. They have two books and four recordings, which receive international airplay.
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
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."
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."

K/BP south of Salem for those who have been on the bypass coming from the north
or west) walk all the way to any entrance of the building and follow signs to
the Lecture Hall which is basically in the center of the building (there should
also be flyers taped up to direct people there).
