Heidi Muller and Bob Webb cross the musical boundaries between original songs and traditional tunes, blending each other’s influences from the Pacific Northwest to the Appalachian Mountains. Featuring dulcimers, guitars, mandolin, electric cello, and Muller’s crystalline vocals, they have released four duo recordings: Up Hurricane Creek, Dulcimer Moon, Light the Winter’s Dark, and Seeing Things. They tour widely to concert halls, festivals and diverse venues such as Kentucky Music Week, Ohio Valley Gathering, Tumbleweed Music Festival, the National Oregon Trails Center, Berkeley Dulcimer Gathering, the National Music Museum and the NPR live performance radio show, Mountain Stage. Described by Dulcimer Players’ News as “one of the dulcimer community’s best songwriters and performers,” Muller made her name as a Seattle recording artist in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. Her song “Good Road” is still heard weekly on Northwest Public Radio and KPBX-Spokane after 25 years as the theme song of the Inland Folk show. Muller recorded five solo CDs before joining forces with Bob Webb. She was a finalist in the prestigious Kerrville New Folk songwriting competition in 1989, was a founder of Camp Coho and performed several times at the festival. She also became a popular instructor in dulcimer, guitar and songwriting at festivals and music camps across the country. Webb settled in West Virginia as part of the 1970’s back-to-the-land movement. A talented multi-instrumentalist, he toured with the folk-rock group Stark Raven that became the house band for the Mountain Stage radio show. There he backed up many of the greats including Odetta, Arlo Guthrie, Tom Paxton and Shawn Colvin. Webb also taught music in schools, directed children's summer camps, and became a recording engineer with his own studio. He recorded albums for dozens of local musicians and helped create documentaries for public radio, including “In Their Own Country,” produced by Kate Long, that was nominated for a Peabody Award. Muller and Webb started performing and touring together in 2003, based in Charleston, West Virginia. They worked as artists-in-residence teaching guitar, dulcimer and songwriting. Muller collected the local history of Big Ugly Creek, WV and wrote songs with children and adults in a project funded by the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, which later culminated in the 200-page book, Patchwork Dreams. Muller and Webb taught guitar and dulcimer in the rural coalfields through Clay Community Arts and co-founded the Music Mentors program for at-risk, inner-city children that is still running in Charleston, WV. Now living in Joseph, Oregon in the Wallowa Mountains, Muller and Webb continue to make their living performing, touring, teaching and recording. They also host their own summer music camp, Dulcimer Week in the Wallowas. For more information, please visit heidimuller.com or wallowadulcimer.com.
