Butch Ross

Chattanooga, Tennessee

We welcome Butch Ross to the Dulcimer U summer staff for the first time. Butch has worked with us on Winter Weekend at Lake Junaluska but never on campus at WCU. Welcome Butch!

Butch Ross has been gleefully smashing disparate genres of music together for over ten years. Using the mountain dulcimer as a prism, he has used the instrument to conquer everything from Bach to the
Beatles to Radiohead (and everything in between).

His restless musical curiosity and virtuosity, coupled with his innate ability to break complex concepts into simple ideas, have made him an in-demand teacher and performer at many folk and dulcimer festivals both in the States and abroad.

He also plays guitar and Ukulele and is a regular contributor to the Dulcimer Players News.
