Charleston, WV for FestivALL, our city-wide arts festival. Bob and I will bring in our 5-sided dulcimers and box dulcimers and help everyone to play some tunes.

Please join us in downtown Charleston:
12:00 Lincoln County Stage at Capitol Market
2:00 Derek Kirk Memorial Stage at Davis Park
June 22-28, 2008 - This is a week-long, old-time music camp where tunes are taught in the traditional way. We have class every morning and early afternoon, and then there are electives and jams offered throughout the week, plus time to get out and see the beautiful mountains, go fishing or ride on the bike trail! This is the best way for dulcimer players to learn tunes that stick with them — we’ll be learning by ear and focussing on the instrument in a real hands-on way. We’ll learn all the basics, and those who wish can also learn to jam with other instruments and gain confidence in playing with others. Music is taught in DAD tuning. Please contact Heidi Muller if you need to purchase an instrument, by email at heidimul@aol.com.

Saturday, June 14 from 7:00-9:00 pm - a “Songs From the End of the Road” show with Janis Carper, Rodd Ambroson, Carolyn Lochert and Heidi Muller featuring songs from our new CD and more! Enjoy dinner on the deck, microbrews on tap, and hopefully warm summer weather to grace the outdoor stage along Main Street. Mountain views free of charge! For more info on the new CD, see www.wallowasong.com.
There’s alot going on here at the end of the road in Wallowa County, Oregon… a CD release, for one thing! I’ve joined Rodd Ambroson, Janis Carper and Carolyn Lochert to put out a CD of original songs that we’ve all written in the last eight months. Called Songs from The End of the Road, we have it up right now on CDBaby.com where you can hear sound clips for every song. You can see info, photos and lyrics at our group website at wallowasong.com.
My own new songs are In Wallowa, about this place and its people; Keep an Eye on the Moon, a whimsical song of hope and lunar mystery; and Traveler, about coming to these mountains for renewal.
Thanks to Dan Maher at Northwest Public Radio for giving us our first airplay! We’ve just sent CDs to stations across Washington and Oregon, and will soon get them out to the main folk shows across the country. Our CD release concert in Joseph brought 150 people and was a smashing success, and we’ll be playing at The Embers this Saturday.
Hope to see you down that good road soon…
On the streets of Joseph, Saturday, June 7 at 3:30 - Heidi Muller solo set and 7:00 - Wallowa Songwriters with Heidi, Janis Carper, Rodd Ambroson and Carolyn Lochert
