Folk duo Heidi Muller and Bob Webb will perform in concert on Thursday, October 17, 2024 at 7:00 pm at the Cutter Theatre, 302 Park Street, in Metaline Falls, WA. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at https://cuttertheatre.com or at the door.
Muller and Webb cross the musical boundaries between original songs and traditional tunes, blending each other’s influences from the Pacific Northwest to the Appalachian Mountains. Their songs feature award-winning songwriter Heidi Muller’s crystalline vocals backed by guitars, Appalachian dulcimers, mandolin, and electric cello. They have recorded four albums together in addition to Muller’s five previous solo CDs.
Described as “arguably Seattle’s most beloved folk singer/songwriter” in the 1990’s
by Heritage Music Review, Muller’s career has spanned four decades in the Northwest music scene. Her song “Good Road” was the theme song of the Inland Folk show heard on Northwest Public Radio for 30 years until 2019. Two of her songs were published in Rise Again, the sequel to the legendary songbook, Rise Up Singing. She toured nationally, performing at venues from coffeehouses to the Kerrville Folk Festival before she moved back East, where she became a popular mountain dulcimer instructor and performer.
In 2003, Muller formed a duo with Bob Webb in Charleston, West Virginia. Webb is a multi-instrumentalist who has played cello and guitar since childhood, and mandolin and
mountain dulcimer for over 40 years. He has worked since the 1970’s as an accompanist in the band Stark Raven and on the road with WV artists Kate Long and Dave Haas. Stark Raven became the house band for NPR’s Mountain Stage live performance radio show, where he accompanied artists such as Odetta, Tom Paxton, Shawn Colvin, Bill Staines, Peggy Seeger, and Arlo Guthrie.
Muller and Webb now live in Joseph, OR at the foot of the Wallowa Mountains. Besides performing, they keep an active teaching schedule, run their own Mountain View Recording studio, and host the annual music camp, Dulcimer Week in the Wallowas.
