Tuesday Tunes: Sandra Lamber, Dulcimer

Sandra Lewis Lambert grew up East Tennessee and is now enjoying retirement with her husband Rich. In 2018 during her pre-retirement years, she started learning the mountain dulcimer and wrote her first song. She credits the mountain dulcimer as her
gate-way instrument that led her to learning the ukulele, tenor guitar, bowed psaltery and writing more songs. She has 50+ songs under her belt and learns a little more about the craft of songwriting with each song she writes.

She is a member of the Knoxville Area Dulcimer Club, the Songwriters of Highland Appalachia, and helped to start the Boones Creek Dulcimer Clan monthly jam. Occasionally, she and her husband perform as The Butternuts. Her first album was recorded in March 2025 at ETSU’s recording studio and released in July. It is available on streaming platforms and YouTube. Search for, “Life’s Highway” by Sandra Lewis Lambert.
