Stephen Humphries, 2007 National Hammered Dulcimer Champion, is quickly becoming one of America’s premier hammered dulcimer soloists and clinicians.  Stephen recently completed his time as a student at Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina.  There he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Music with an emphasis in Percussion studies.  With this education, as well as experience in a variety of performance settings and festivals, Stephen brings a solid percussive, classical, and contemporary approach to the hammered dulcimer.  Currently, Stephen is pursuing a Masters Degree in Music Education at Lee University in Cleveland, TN.  For information on upcoming appearances and dulcimer festivals please visit Stephen's calendar.

At present, Stephen has released four recordings: By the Pond, Landrum & Humphries (with guest artist Dan Landrum), Let Earth Receive Her King, and Hosegrass.  His recordings have been featured in multiple issues of Dulcimer Players News (www.dpnews.com), and his transcriptions and articles have been featured on Mel Bay’s DulcimerSessions.com.
