This week we have the honor of welcoming Max ZT, one of the most prolific innovators of the hammered dulcimer instrument.  Max has developed a unique sound with this mesmerizing and curious instrument.  He’s been lauded as the “Jimi Hendrix of dulcimer” by NPR and has performed with the likes of Ravi Shakar, Tinariwen, Jimmy Cliff, Bela Fleck, Victor Wooten, and so many more. His band House Of Waters — who release music on Snarky Puppy’s GroundUP Music — have been deemed “One of the most original bands on the planet,” by NY Music Daily.  
Thanks so much to Max for taking the time to have this fun and insightful conversation with us!
