Steve Eulberg Biography Steve Eulberg
Steve Eulberg Biography Steve Eulberg weaves mountain and hammered dulcimers with a variety of unusual instruments to create thought-provoking, smile-inducing, toe-tapping acoustic experiences. He is an award- winning multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter who has sung and composed for religious communities, union halls, picket lines, inter-faith retreats, mountain-top youth camps, and showcase concerts. He has been called an “Appalachian Jimmy Buffet” because of his personable stage presence and warm voice. Born and raised in the German-heritage town of Pemberville, Ohio, Steve was exposed to a variety of music in his home. Following early lessons on piano and trumpet, his first stringed instrument was his mother’s ukulele. He taught himself guitar and harmonica, and then built his first mountain dulcimer while in college. Seminary training then took him to the west side of Denver where he built his first hammered dulcimer. With these instruments, Steve was able to give voice to the Scottish, English, and Irish traditions to which he is heir. Steve has shared the stage with folk artists John McCutcheon, Bryan Bowers, Maggie Sansone, Emma’s Revolution, and Mundy Turner. He is a five-time National Winner in Mountain Dulcimer and a three-time National Finalist for Hammered Dulcimer. Steve has produced fifteen albums including “Fiddle Whamdiddle: Old School Old Time” with fiddler Vi Wickham (2012), A Piece of it All (2007), I Celebrate Life (2005), and Random Acts of Fiddling (2005, with Carole and Teresa Lundgren). His recordings have appeared on the Grammy ballot three different years; his music has been played on National Public Radio and on United Airlines Inflight Audio; and his “Soaring” was licensed by PBS’ RoadTrip Nation.
