Heidi Muller and Bob Webb

Heidi Muller and Bob Webb are known for their original songs, traditional music and songs of place with roots spreading from West Virginia to the Pacific Northwest. Influences from both regions weave through Muller's award-winning songwriting, crystalline vocals and the duo’s unique arrangements of mountain dulcimers, guitars, electric cello and mandolin. Veteran touring artists from Charleston, WV, their credits include the Kerrville Folk Festival, Mountain Stage, Augusta Heritage, Northwest Folklife, Tumbleweed, Kentucky Music Week and many other festivals.

Muller spent about 20 years in Seattle and is well known in the Northwest for her song “Good Road” that has been the theme song of the Inland Folk show on Northwest Public Radio and KPBX-Spokane since 1989. She has recorded seven CDs and published several songbooks. Muller and Webb met at a Northeast Folk Alliance conference and have toured as a duo since 2003. Multi-instrumentalist Webb was an original member of the house band on National Public Radio’s Mountain Stage, where he backed up such greats as Odetta, Arlo Guthrie, Shawn Colvin and Tom Paxton. He has toured with songwriter Kate Long, recorded several CDs with dulcimer player Dave Haas, and published songbooks for dulcimer and mandolin. His music also graces film and radio documentaries, and he recently produced and narrated the new radio documentary Passing It On: The Rebirth of Oldtime Music in Pocahontas County, WV that will air on public radio stations nationwide in 2012.
