The Dulcimer Boys are Norm Williams (vocals, mountain dulcimer, banjo, guitar, and ukulele), Cliff Cole (hammered dulcimer, guitar, and percussion), and Rob Yoder (vocals, guitar, banjo, concertina, mountain dulcimer, and bodhrán). Norm, a member of the Old-Time and Gospel group, Wayfarers & Company, joins two members of the traditional music group DayBreak to form this harmonious offshoot.
These long-time musician friends have come together to perform a range of folk music inspired by American Old-Time and Celtic traditions. The combination of mountain dulcimer, hammered dulcimer, banjo, and guitar especially lend themselves to the music of late 19th Century America. The mountain dulcimer, especially, is an instrument developed by European immigrants to the Appalachian region.
