I like to promote musicians that I think are doing really cool things. Vince Conaway is a hammered dulcimer player extraordinare! Here he is playing a piece that he composed: “Ephiphany”. Learn more about him and the hammered dulcimer at www.vinceconaway.com.

When I was in Amsterdam a few weeks ago, I saw this group of musicians outside the Rijksmuseum. They are called “The Compatible”, and I was really impressed with how the accordion’s sound fit in the ensemble. Here they are playing the first movement of “Winter” from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Enjoy!
