2016 National Hammered Dulcimer Champion

Ilace ("Eye-less") is an award-winning (see above!) hammered dulcimer and violin player - but hasn't figured out a way to play both at the same time.  When she does, you can find video posted here!

 In the meantime, she brings a classically trained background to the world of traditional folk music with a deep appreciation for both.  Ilace is having a blast teaching and playing with friends from across the continent at dulcimer festivals, jams, and other gatherings. 

Frequent collaborations with multi-instrumental wizard David Wilson add another dimension to performances and recordings.

Check out videos on the Performance page, including her set at the 2024 Original Dulcimer Players Club Funfest in Evart, Michigan.
