Joellen Lapidus: Home

Welcome to Joellen Lapidus' website! You can listen to down home old time mountain dulcimer music here as well as modern west coast urban dulcimer tunes composed by myself and others. Or... you can try out a whole different sound and hear Eastern European Jewish Wedding Dance Music (called Klezmer Music) performed by my band, EXTREME KLEZMER MAKEOVER. You can also see photos of the instruments I've built and learn when I'm giving dulcimer and klezmer workshops and when I'm performing solo or with the band. Take your time and enjoy the music and the photos!

JOELLEN LAPIDUS: Joellen Lapidus In Concert

This high octane dulcimer CD switches back and forth like a mountain trail weaving through foot stomping old time music, eerily chordally droned harmonies, punctuated middle eastern rhythms, and lyrics that evoke tenderness as well as mischievious humor.
