Jeff is an award-winning mountain dulcimer player who is known for his
smooth and expressive style. His gentle, humorous, and effective teaching
style has made him a very popular 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 clawhammer banjo
player for many years, he developed a rhythmic and melodic style which
has heavily 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. He has been performing for more than 37 years, and his technical
abilities, quick ear, musical sensitivity, and expression have made Jeff a
popular choice for playing on multiple recordings, including music from
Ireland, Scotland, the Appalachian Mountains, and American folk tunes.
Touching someone’s heart with his music is Jeff’s most rewarding goal.

He lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
