Merry Faith Rhoads

The dulcimer Queen, on both the mountain and hammered dulcimers. Many tours in France and many albums, CDs, etc. Her former Partner was John Pearse (one of our favorites). She is the business owner of Breezy Ridge hammered dulcimers and John Pearse strings. Come on over and have yourself a Merry Little Christmas!

Mike & Linda Hertzog

Mike is a former bluegrass banjo champion from the Bloomsburg Fair. Linda plays an upright acoustic bass that is bigger than she is. Together, they make beautiful music, vocally and instrumentally. Their specialties are Bluegrass (no surprise there), old-time folk, country, gospel, and Pa Dutch. Come and relax, and chase away those winter blues.

Summer on Duke

Christy Martin (yes, one of those Martins), on fiddle, and more, with her husband, LaVerne King, on guitar and vocals, with wonderful Celtic tunes and songs. Bring your Valentine and get ready to enjoy!

Linda Russell

The only official folk singer of the National Park Service (guess where?), with a terrifying story of how she wound up there. Old-time folk on dulcimer, guitar, and who knows what else, and with stories to match. A very entertaining lady!
