When I sit and play the music with her I see and hear the passion she has for it.” … Al Berard, Basin Brothers, 1992 Cajun Fiddler of the Year, Cajun Music Association. “She is giving a new dimension to our [traditional Irish] music.” … Dan Coen, EVENING HERALD, Dublin, Ireland “Lois is a very expressive dulcimer player … The passion and power she puts into “Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms” … is sure to move anyone.” (Her fiddle tunes) …”are played with great spirit - sometimes delicate, sometimes more firey, but always with superb control of the dynamic range of this subtle instrument.” … Jerry Rockwell, DIRTY LINEN MAGAZINE “I heard Lois Hornbostel play at a dulcimer festival in Cosby, Tennessee, and fell in love with the dulcimer’s sweet sound.”… Mary Lawrence Breinig Representative Performances: .

Mary - hammered dulcimer - main instrument, then drums, guitar, pia
MaryMary Sparks I've been playing the hammered dulcimer for ten years and it is truly the voice of my spirit. Having performed in some manner for most of my life, it was with great pleasure that I discovered the dulcimer along the way. As a hammered dulcimer player I've performed in various venues...from coffee houses to large auditoriums, weddings to art gallery events. I've also been asked to appear on other's CDs and my music is featured in a local documentary on sustainable farming and a tourism video. Each performance is unique in that I play all original music, much of which is improvised and created on the spot...often influenced by the energy in the moment. My style of playing could be considered classical with a new-age/Celtic influence. For a listing of Asheville, NC venues played, please feel free to contact me.
