Spring Augusta Week
Beginning Hammered Dulcimer
Jody Marshall

With nearly twenty years of experience as a hammered dulcimer performer in genres ranging from Celtic to classical to pop, Jody Marshall’s performance credits include the White House, the Kennedy Center, Wolf Trap’s Filene Center for the Performing Arts, the Birchmere, and the Smithsonian Institution. She was a founding member of the bands Ironweed and MoonFire, and has been nominated as best folk instrumentalist by the Washington Area Music Association. Jody is also a popular dulcimer teacher, and has been on the faculty of festivals and arts workshops around the country and overseas. The Washington Post describes Jody’s music as “lovely, lively, and shimmering.” Her recordings include Cottage in the Glen, (on the Maggie’s Music label) and Carol of the Bells.

When not performing and teaching, Jody writes stories and articles for Ranger Rick magazine and other publications. She also likes to spend time digging in the dirt in her native-plant garden.
