Robert competed in and won the Southern Regional Hammered Dulcimer Competition held at the Ozark Dulcimer Jamboree in Mountain View, Arkansas. Part of his prize, he gained entry into the National Championship at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, KS.

If you want to come to the Walnut Valley Festival and cheer Robert on, check out their website for more details. Thanks for your support whether in person or from afar, it is greatly appreciated!

If you would like to see the competition, but the festival is too far, you’re in luck! This year the competition is being streamed live! The livestreams will include the first rounds, second rounds and the presentations of each championship, all presented by the folks at The Acoustic Music Shoppe in Springfield, Missouri. It will be on their Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/@AcousticShoppe
