This Little Instrument Changed the Track | Brad Sample + Cumberland River Dulcimer

What happens when a Nashville session guitarist needs something a little different on a track?
Brad Sample grabbed his Cumberland River Dulcimer.

Brad’s been part of the Nashville music scene since he was 15, working in studios, writing, producing and playing guitar. Over the years, he’s worked with artists including Brett Eldredge, Michael Ray, Brooke Eden and Randy Houser, and played the Grand Ole Opry dozens of times.

So when Brad says the Cumberland brings something different to a recording, we’re listening. 👀

In this session, he takes us inside his studio in Berry Hill and shows how he used the Cumberland on a new track he’s producing. First, you’ll hear the track without it. Then Brad adds one ridiculously simple part...

And it changes the whole feel.

His description of these instruments?
“They’re song machines.”
Yeah. We like that.
