About the Club

Blue Ridge Mountain Dulcimer Players Club is currently meeting once a quarter to share dulcimer music and play together. The purposes of our club include PROMOTING mountain dulcimer activities locally and state-wide, and PLAYING at Festivals, Retirement Centers, Farmers’ Markets, on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and other venues.

We PLAY

…together, sometimes in large groups

…in nursing homes and retirement centers

…at local festivals and picnics

…for libraries, churches, civic and social organizations

And Always,

We PLAY for FUN

We are meeting for jams once quarterly, gathering  in various locations in the Shenandoah Valley.  These jams are usually the third Saturdays of March, June, September and December and are open to the public.  Our locations are varied, depending on which club members are leading. Locations include the Augusta County Library in Waynesboro, VA the Shenandoah Room of Maple Terrace in the Bridgewater Retirement Community, in Bridgewater, VA, the Oasis picnic shelter in the Bridgewater Retirement Community, and outside in Oakdale Park in Bridgewater, VA.  Please check Our News blog (see sidebar) for announcement of time and location or weather related cancellations.

New players and visitors are welcome!

    1. Mark, we anticipate that there will be a class of new players starting in Charlottesville in January, and many or most of that group will not have their own duclimers, so, this offer may be very timely. I will share this with the one who will be leading that class. Thanks! (And feel free to come join us at one of our gatherings!).

  2. I am very interested in meeting club members and listening.

    I am especially interested in regional dulcimer history.

    When are you preforming again or meeting?
    I live some distance and need to plan.

  3. I have just returned from a week-long beginning mountain dulcimer class at John C. Campbell Folk School and would like to connect with local players. I’m in the Charlottesville area. Are you accepting new/beginner members?
