Note: Our family will be moving out of state in early July or late June. I am available for events before then.
Getting married? Celebrating a special occasion? Organizing the office staff party? Consider having hammered dulcimer music as part of your special event, whether it's a wedding ceremony, a reception, a dinner, tea, or garden party, a house concert, or just about anything else.
Options
Solo: Mixed folk, original, and classical repertoire on hammer dulcimer. Repertoire can be adjusted to emphasize a particular genre or mood. If desired, additional variety can be created with occasional vocals (with guitar or dulcimer) or with bowed psaltery.The Hanshaw Trio: A mostly Celtic trio featuring Jerry Drumheller on fiddle, Craig Higgins on guitar and mandolin, and myself on hammer dulcimer.
Pas de Deux: A duo with Lisa Fenwick; classical, Celtic, and other elegant music on hammered dulcimer, lever harp, and flute.
Custom Ensemble: Hammer dulcimer sounds great with other acoustic instruments. If there are particular instrument combinations or musicians you're interested in, ask about forming a customized ensemble.

"My friends are still commenting on the beautiful and unique instrument played at my wedding. I have always loved the hammered dulcimer and Marcy soulfully elicited its magic to complement a perfect day. Thank you for making my wedding so beautiful."
-- Susan Holota
"As a musician, the quality and type of music in our wedding ceremony was very important to me. WoodSong helped make that time so memorable. Their unique blend of dulcimer, flute, harp, and classical guitar brought a intimate yet formal, and unique yet classical style to the worship service. Our family and friends continue to talk about how beautiful the music sounded."
-- Trey Wickham
