Jody Marshall is well known for her lively and expressive style, as
well as for her creative arrangements of both solo and ensemble pieces.
In keeping with her varied musical tastes, she is equally adept at
playing Celtic jigs and reels, Renaissance and medieval dance tunes,
classical music, and other genres.
She
delights in finding and adapting pieces that sit well on the dulcimer
but aren’t normally heard on the instrument, mining material from the
likes of J. S. Bach, BBC television shows, the Allman Brothers, and
Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson.
Jody is also
an innovative piano player with a style all her own, by turns driving a
powerful rhythm for a rollicking reel or softly lilting a gentle waltz.
Nominated as best folk instrumentalist by
the Washington Area Music Association, Jody’s performance credits
include the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Folger Shakespeare Library,
the Smithsonian Institution, the Kennedy Center, and the White House.
She was a founding member of the D.C.-based folk trio, Ironweed, and
currently performs with the award-winning Celtic bands, MoonFire and
Connemara.
"Deftly
balancing the artful and the playful...lovely, lively, and
shimmering...imagination and musicianship are equally evident."
-The Washington Post
"Jody's dulcimer playing is impeccably clear, confident and precise. Her arrangements are wonderfully developed...superb."
