Details
Alisa Jones brought the sound of the hammered dulcimer to new audiences when she recorded on projects by Michael Martin Murphey and Country Music Hall of Fame members Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton, among others. Her father, Country Music Hall of Fame member Grandpa Jones, and her old time fiddle-playing mother introduced her to traditional country music at an early age, which led to her discovery and love of the dulcimer. In the early 1990s, Jones, multi-instrumentalist Mark Howard and master autoharpist Ron Wall — who will accompany Jones during this program — formed the Cumberland Records label and released numerous acoustic instrumental records. During this performance, Jones, Howard and Wall to perform a selection of classic Christmas songs.
