Dave Haas lives in Charleston, WV and has been playing the mountain dulcimer since 1990. He teaches dulcimer in both private and group settings, and loves to share the mountain dulcimer and its history with schools, churches, and civic organizations. He has even brought dulcimer music to those in prison! Dave also plays the guitar, sings, and leads music on Christian retreat experiences such as Kairos Prison Ministry, The Walk To Emmaus, and Teens Encounter Christ. Dave has released three dulcimer CDs, three dulcimer instruction/CD workbooks, and a popular dulcimer chord chart.
Dave also enjoys teaching science as a Chemistry Professor at the University of Charleston. One of his favorite activities is to sing chemistry songs (some on dulcimer) with his students!
Dave performs solo and with Bob Webb as a dulcimer/guitar duo. They have released two CDs; “Here Comes The Sun” and “Starry, Starry Night”. Both CDs contain dulcimer instrumentals with mostly guitar accompaniment, providing an easy-listening mix of Old Time, Celtic, Christian, and Contemporary music. |
