National Hammered Dulcimer Champion Joshua Messick will be holding a live music demo and playing pieces from his new CD, “Woodland Dance” on Saturday, August 6, 2016, 11am til 4pm at the MOUNTAIN MADE art gallery.
MOUNTAIN MADE art gallery owner Melinda Knies said,”Joshua, breathes new life into an ancient, enchanting instrument. Joshua’s music is in turns bewitching, playful and virbrant or touchingly poignant.
When asked what a hammered dulcimer was Knies replied,”This type of dulcimer is a trapezoid-shaped percussion instrument that has strings and is played by stiking the strings with two small ‘hammers’.
This is very different from the Appalachian dulcimers that are held and the strings plucked. Some have said that the hammered dulcimer produces music that has an almost magical sound.”
She goes on to say,”We are very happy that Joshua has chosen MOUNTAIN MADE to debut his new album, ‘Woodland Dance’ here at the gallery.”
The live music demostration is free and open to the public. MOUNTAIN MADE, a downtown Asheville art gallery, is located inside the Grove Arcade.
