Stephen Seifert's teaching and playing has made him a favorite with dulcimer players all over the country since 1991.

Guy and Sharrie George

Guy George, from Cleveland, Ohio, is a rhythmic, melodic hammered dulcimer player with a definite jazz influence to his playing style. At LCG he'll be teaching hammered dulcimer, pennywhistle, and steel drums. His classes are relaxed and fun, but definitely solid. His most recent recordings are with Maddie MacNeil on her latest CD "As Time Goes By".


TNT - The Nameless Trio
www.tntdulcimers.com

The trio, Ginny Cliett, Linda Smith, and Deby Libby, are all members of the Knoxville Area Dulcimer Club, where they met during 2004/2005. They formed an ensemble in October 2006 and have been having a blast ever since. Sharing what they have learned has been their mission, and what they've nick-named "Team TNT Teaching", has been a natural development - playing together, performing together, and teaching together. At LCG they'll be teaching beginner dulcimer and ensemble playing.


Gary and Toni Sager

Gary became interested in the Mountain Dulcimer in 1991 after seeing David Schnaufer's "Fischer's Hornpipe" video on CMT. He built a dulcimer in late 1991, then began building seriously in 1992 and has been building and playing since that time. Gary, along with wife Toni are the owners of "Prussia Valley Dulcimers Acoustic Music Shop". Gary and Toni has been playing the autoharp for about seven years. At LCG they'll be teaching fiddle tunes, DAD.
