smile-inducing, toe-tapping, thought-provoking folkgrass

You can help keep live, found art visible and find-able on the streets of Fort Collins this summer with BeetStreet's Streetmosphere Kickstarter Campaign. I've donated a CD and FiddleWhamdiddle has, too! (and check out the crazy angles of my flexible hammered dulcimer hammers in this slide show-at about 0:20!)

Scenic Roots with Steve Eulberg in Concert~
Watch the archive of the Concert below


Welcome to Owl Mountain Music
Dedicated to helping people sing their soul.

Celebrating our 23rd year!

Steve Eulberg stands within the tradition of handmade, acoustic, home-grown music, giving life to old songs and tunes and songs by passing them on. He also stretches the boundaries of musical instrumentation by playing jazz, blues and bossa nova on traditional instruments.

He brings virtuosity and surprise to performance and thoughtful songwriting which utilize humor, bringing new perspectives to embrace the broken lives and tattered fringes of life and re-weave them into strands of hope.

The warm vibrations and resonance of wood & strings inspire a hope he is compelled to share with audiences.The hammered dulcimer is present in cultures across the globe, the mountain dulcimer has crossed cultural boundaries to be adopted by people outside of its origins.

There is an ancestral resonance that people feel when hearing these instruments which brings a human tribal unity to those in the audience.

Practicing in the Dark

by Linda Ratcliff I’m spending the winter in sunny California, but I know many of you have been getting hit with some pretty cold weather. Brrrr. That reminds me of the way I used to practice piano. I usually arrived at school, during both my high school and college years, at about 6:30 in the [...]

What is Drone Style?

by Steve Eulberg Once we have learned the melody of a tune we can begin adding notes in order “fill out” the sound of the tune.  The easiest way to do this is to play “drone style“.  This is actually the traditional way to play the old mountain dulcimers which did not have frets that [...]

Koto–the Japanese Cousin of the Mountain Dulcimer

by Steve Eulberg I thought I had caught a glimpse of this long, distinctive instrument while passing by one of the Private (Guerilla) Showcases on the music floor of the Delta Chelsea Hotel in Toronto, but it wasn’t until I was rewarded by meeting its owner in the hall in the early evening (before all [...]
