Lance Frodsham is one of the top mountain dulcimer players in on the West Coast today. His love of traditional music comes through in his unique way of using this "simple" instrument in English, Celtic and World Music.

While in high school, Lance hitchhiked up the California Pacific Coast Highway in search of Richard Fariña. Disillusioned to discover that Fariña had died two years earlier, Lance nevertheless moved to Monterey and bought his first dulcimer off of a street person on Cannery Row. Lance put out his first recording Dulcimer / Songs and Dances of the British Isles (KM 227) on the Kicking Mule label in 1983. It was produced by master fiddle player Kevin Burke. In 1994, Lance, along with multi-instrumentalist Sylvia Hackathorn, released WhistleStops & Dulcimers on the Wizmak label. Lance is a regular of the Kindred Gathering , a group of dulcimer enthusiasts who have been convening for over twenty years . He has taught workshops at several festivals including the California Traditional Music Society. Lance is a former member of the Portland, Oregon band No Seamus . He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and family.
