That 'ol folk gig thang

I did some gigs this fall as one-third of "Ricko Donovan and the Lost & Found." Ricko is a hammered dulcimer player who does mostly Irish trad and folk songs with a little newer material thrown in to keep people off-balance. Here we are at The Yard, which is a coffee shop in Nashville that has this huge backyard garden (huge for in a big city, anyway) and stage. The stage is complete with light-up palm trees, one of which is growing out of Ricko's head in this photo from the Nashville Tennessean. That's me playing ham-fisted DADGAD backup, and Dave from NoLa on bass. Ricko is currently touring the southern U.S. with a solo show.

Does he have to be hammered to play the dulcimer?

Not necessarily, but that's definitely when his superpowers kick in.
