Buckeye RoadShow, from Ohio, is composed of Shari Wolf and Chris and Joe Steiner. Just like necessity is the mother of invention, Covid 19 caused these three friends to collaborate on ways to continue to keep music alive during the vacuum that existed in 2020-2021.
Shari Wolf, (director of the Buckeye Dulcimer Festival), and Chris and Joe Steiner (assistant directors), came up with a plan to provide “zoom” jams from various locations… hence the name Buckeye RoadShow (BRS). The first jams consisted of just the trio together in one window so you heard the entire group play together as a "string band". Later and current jams also include other “live” participants. These zoom jams have online participants from all over the United States.
In addition to the monthly Buckeye RoadShow jams since 2021, BRS assists clubs and organizations by conducting workshops and assisting in any way needed to strengthen their club and performances. In the fall of 2024, BRS created a podcast at the request of Dulcimer Player News entitled "Seven Ways to Strengthen your Dulcimer Club". Of course, Buckeye RoadShow just loves to share their music during live performances, too. There is only one way to keep old-timey music alive, and that is by sharing it – one tune at a time.
