Jonathan Dowell is the 2007 Southern Regional Mountain Dulcimer Champion 

Jonathen will be performing at the Fair Grove Farmers' Market opening day. April 22ND

Jonathan once lived in the Ozark Mountains of Southwest Missouri. His grandfather was a fiddle player, himself a descendent of Scots-Irish settlers who had homesteaded in the hills of Taney County. Jonathan took this heritage, added studies of music at Southwest Missouri State University, and developed skills in the modern style of the Mountain Dulcimer.

Jonathan learned dulcimer techniques from a long list of gifted teachers. First among these is his mother, Josephine Dowell, who brought the dulcimer to the Dowell family as she attended the Dulcimer Jamborees at the Ozark Folk Center in Mountain View, Arkansas. Other influential instructors have included Aubrey Atwater, Scott Odena, Karen Mueller, Dana Hamilton, Judy Klinkhammer, Pam Kirby, David Moran, Dennis Moran, and two giants of dulcimer history: David Schnaufer and Jean Jennings. Among the non-dulcimer influences are Erin Leahy and all her brothers and sisters, Dave Smith, J.C. Bonds, Beki Jeanne Fuller, Kathy Sutterfield, and all the girls of the Patchwork string band.

We will also have cookies and lemon aide for the customers

We will also be handing out trees to the Kids and signing them up for the Growing With Kids Program

Hope to See You There.
