Edelston & Dulcimer presents: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Great and original cover of a classic Beatles song

Classic song by The Beatles covered by Sam Edelston who performs the melody exclusively on the fretted dulcimer (aka Mountain or Appalachian dulcimer). It sounds slightly like an acoustic guitar -- but it's a dulcimer and it only has 3 strings! Beatbox sounds provided by Broadway actor/musician Chesney Snow.

Stream the classic cover:

Edelston & Dulcimer is the duo of Sam Edelston and his fretted dulcimer (mountain dulcimer) .

Sam Edelston is on a mission to make fretted dulcimers as popular—and as badass—as guitars and keyboards. He is one of just a handful of performers actively promoting them as a featured instrument in rock and pop music.

Fretted dulcimers, more commonly called mountain dulcimers, come from the traditional world of folk music. When people ask how he came to that instrument, Sam says, “Kicking and screaming.” He was into fingerstyle guitar and hammered dulcimer (a low-tech ancestor of the piano, which happens to share the “dulcimer” last name). Fretted dulcimers usually have only 3 strings, and they typically don’t have frets for all of the musical notes—so for 30 years, Sam thought they were too limited to be interesting.

But his life changed in 2004 when he became the founding chair of the Nutmeg Dulcimer Festival in Connecticut. He decided to “get acquainted with the other side of the family,” bought a fretted dulcimer, and within a couple of hours he had come up with decent arrangements of Donovan’s “Mellow Yellow” and T Rex’s “Bang a Gong.” This was his eureka moment.

Just as “the Folk” played the music that was around them—the music their kin and their neighbors played—Sam plays the music that’s around him: Everything from bluegrass to bossa nova, Sousa to Gilbert & Sullivan, Tin Pan Alley, some of his several hundred original songs, and especially the many flavors of rock music from the 1950s to today. On both acoustic and electric dulcimers, Sam often makes his three strings sound like multiple instruments, or even an entire band, earning him a reputation as a creative force and an innovator. His covers of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” and The Ramones’ “I Wanna Be Sedated” went viral, and he has garnered well over 1 million views on YouTube.

His video of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” is shown at the renowned Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, AZ.

He has performed and taught at dulcimer festivals across the US. He is a frequent performer for The Folk Project (NJ) and has been featured by the Folk Music Society of New York. Sam has played to rock audiences at the famed Bitter End in New York City and the FabFest Charlotte (NC) Beatles festival. His 2025 schedule includes appearances in Connecticut, Massachusetts, upstate New York, North Carolina, and Ohio, with more to come.

In 2024, Sam released his debut album, MAKING WAVES, the first-ever record to feature a dulcimer fronting a rock band covering (mostly) classic rock and pop songs.

I am happy to share that my team won the International Fabrication Festival 2017 DS Smith First Prize for our pavilion for 'best use of material'!

Team: Sneha Baptista, Amad Hussain, Nouha Hansen Mentored by Colman Architects Our project: In response to this year's FabFest theme Pop-up City, we would like to bring some attention to a very important part of the city; the green spaces! Cities around the world are growing at a rapid speed, and London is no exception. Big cities are popular as they bring together diverse people, ideas and processes making them exciting places to live and work. How can we make sure to maintain a healthy environment? In London, air pollution poses a major health risk causing the early death of up to 9000 people a year due to long-term exposure to NOx gasses and particulate matters. We are curious to reduce the impact of several decades or industry and transport emissions of pollutants into the air, and have been inspired by the WENDY pavilion made of a special nano-material as an adaptable skin and filters the air. The material creates a clean air flow and depicts biomimicry form. This nano material has great potential as the adaptable skin can be fitted commonly throughout the city for example to bus stops to act as cleaning hubs in busy transport spots. We envision that our pavilion can be made of the same material. Our pavilion with its material and with its nature inspired geometry represents how human activity can support nature in providing the best possible environment. FABFEST is an International Fabrication Festival celebrating design and making featuring pavilions designed by students from the UK and around the world. The Festival is hosted by the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at University of Westminster and sponsored by the Quintin Hogg Trust, DS Smith and Hawthorn: www.fabfest.london
