Homestead Dulcimer Group Bridges Folk and Faith
Homestead is a Scott County based quartet formed in 1983 by Mershon and Rick Jones and Paula Parkinson. The group blends hammered dulcimer with fiddle and guitar in nursing homes and bluegrass venues, sharing music as a bonding hobby for three couples including Max and Bev Moomaw and Alphons and Cecelia Rijfkogel. Their performances support fundraisers and arts events, while members describe music as release, friendship, and marriage enrichment.
