Episode 195 - Kevin Roth - King of the Dulcimer

Kevin Roth's journey into the world of folk music began at the tender age of thirteen when he first picked up the dulcimer. Little did he know that this humble beginning would lead to a remarkable career filled with international acclaim. By the age of sixteen, Roth had already recorded his debut album for Folkways / Smithsonian Folkways Records, marking the start of his meteoric rise to fame. Over the next decade, he solidified his place as a prominent folk singer and dulcimer player, recording a total of ten albums with the label. Notably, his performance of the theme song for the PBS-TV children’s show Shining Time Station in 1984 catapulted him into a much larger market, expanding his reach and influence. Collaborating with Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul & Mary further entrenched Roth in American folk history, cementing his legacy as a musician who has graced concert stages worldwide, appeared at prestigious events such as the White House, and left an indelible mark on the world of folk music.
