Ultimate Classic Rock

"Displaying a frightening amount of rock mojo for a guy who seems fairly quiet and unassuming, Edelston used his amplified three-string mountain dulcimer to roar his way through ‘Whole Lotta Love’ without so much as breaking a sweat. After watching this, we’re ready to jump in a van and follow Edelston around on tour."

Jambase

"Sam Edelston is a dulcimer wizard who has used the old-time instrument to cover classic rock songs in the past. We’re in awe of one of his most recent covers as he does a bang-up job of tackling Led Zeppelin’s 'Whole Lotta Love'.”

The Folk Project

"Sam has taken the mountain dulcimer from its backwoods Appalachian origins to genres most players never dreamed of, from bossa nova to bluegrass to Black Sabbath ... Sam is a brilliant and innovative player."

What other artists are saying...

Steve Eulberg - Dulcimer Performer / Instructor / Author

"Making Waves is a multi-decade jukebox of well-thought-out arrangements, skillfully played by Sam and his cast of supporting musicians that never fail to delight, surprise and tickle my fancy. As soon as I’ve reached the final track, I’m ready to start all over again!"

Joellen Lapidus - Pioneering Dulcimer Player / Builder / Author

"My mind was blown ... Sam has added a huge chapter to the development of the mountain dulcimer as a versatile and ever growing musical American folk instrument."

Roia Rafieyan - Singer / Guitarist / Songwriter / Music Therapist

Making Waves is "a loving tribute to a vastly underappreciated instrument, the playing of which you’ve elevated to something of an art form. Bravo, Sam!!"
