I'm Vince Conaway, a musician and composer, and you can find me performing historical and original music on hammered dulcimer throughout the Americas and Europe. Whether I'm performing in English, Spanish, or Italian, I believe that the audience should not be separated from the show but instead be a part of it, and I bring a bit of cultural and historical perspective to every performance.

Music is always a collaboration and you are a vital part of the show, elevating my performance through your expressions, questions, and reactions. I need your openness, your playfulness, and your support to keep the music alive and growing. Thank you for buying CDs, downloading from iTunes, and adding me to your Spotify playlists.

I want to brighten the world with my hammered dulcimer. If I can pull your mind away from your daily troubles for just a moment of melody I have succeeded, whether onstage at a renaissance festival or busking the streets of Europe.

Now I'm excited to offer you a new opportunity to come along with me on my journeys, through Patreon. Artists and patrons working together created the Italian Renaissance and changed the world. By becoming my patron in the classic sense you become a new kind of audience. Come join me as I explore the mountains of South America, entertain on the festival circuit, and wander the streets of Europe.
