Vince Conaway's hammered dulcimer music has taken him all over the world, from Europe to South America and back in time itself (or at least to a long list of American renaissance festivals). He began playing piano as a child and taught himself mandolin while studying engineering, later becoming enchanted by the hammered dulcimer. His fascination with musicians of the past led him to an MA in history, and his show is a highlight reel for seven centuries of music!

Performance History:

Vince currently divides his year between the renaissance festival circuit interspersed with several months of busking in Europe, Canada, and South America. Throughout his travels he also offers a sporadic schedule of art gallery, coffee shop, and house concert performances.
