Jamming Good Time

The jam that capped off Day 1 of the Memphis Dulcimer Gathering & Folk Festival was one of Nathaniel's favorite jams he's ever taken part in. Lots of great songs played in fun ways with a variety of instruments. Sitting next to Jeff Hames, who was next to Steve Seifert, didn't hurt either! Nathaniel took classes with Steve Seifert all day and also enjoyed spending time playing several Papaw's Dulcimers, which he really liked the feel and the sound of.

Live from Memphis

Nathaniel restrung tonight in preparation for the Memphis Dulcimer Gathering & Folk Festival, where he'll be taking classes, jamming and generally spending time with the dulcimer community for the next two days. He plans to play for everyone in attendance during the open mic tomorrow.

Nathaniel Wins at Fair

Nathaniel recently competed in the talent show at the Chattahoochee Mountain Fair in North Georgia with his version of "Black Mountain Rag" and won first place in the 12 and under category. He was the only dulcimer player in the competition, which was dominated by vocal acts. Congratulations, Nathaniel!
