Be enchanted by the traditional folk music of Dick and Carmen Gilman at Lana's. The duo has made music together and with the Newton Street Irregulars for over twenty years. The music they play is rooted in the traditional music of the Appalachian Mountains, old-time string bands, and songs and ballads from the British Isles. They accompany themselves with hammer dulcimer, guitar, fiddle, and Dick's hand crafted lap dulcimers and fretless banjo. Dick and Carmen are among the leaders of workshops and concerts at Mountain Music Weekend at Great Camp Sagamore in the Adirondacks, and have performed at numerous concerts, conferences, schools, festivals, and square/contra dances in the northeast. They can be heard on CDs produced by Sleeping Giant Records and Northern Roads Productions.
