UNPRETENTIOUS. UNSCRIPTED. UNBELIEVABLE!

Hammered dulcimer you have to see and hear to believe!

Each and every night Ted Yoder crafts a progressive jam session that keeps audiences coast to coast asking presenters to "BRING HIM BACK!" Merging world class talent with a rock-n-roll attitude, Ted delivers nostalgic music on a rarely seen instrument. 

Stunning covers of Bruce Hornsby, Tears for Fears, and the Beatles are mixed with relaxed banter and unscripted moments for a one of a kind show. The band can include bass, drums, marimba, and even a string quartet for a neoclassical twist. The band also offers a refreshingly unique holiday show.

OUTREACH

Ted Yoder Band brings an exceptional outreach program to curious minds of all ages with lively discussion and education about the history and science of their instruments, personal stories, and professional instruction.

"Ted Yoder is the Bela Fleck of the hammered dulcimer."
Michael Johnathon- Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour
