...Mathew Abelson is a gangly, young hammered dulcimer
player who grew up in New Jersey, spent time in a Kibbutz in Israel, and taught
himself to play hammered dulcimer while studying biology at Oberlin College. The
cocky Abelson attacks the dulcimer with and an intensity rarely seen at you
typical folk festival. Abelson won an encore from the audience for his high
spirited rendition of several Irish tines, as well as moving performances of
"Ashoken Farewell" (theme song for PBS' "Civil War" series)
and the classic Shaker Hymn "It's a Gift to Be Simple." Lynne Brakerman |
