Thriver Conversation with Kevin Roth - Music, Mindfulness & Finding what Matters

In this episode, we welcome guest and musical artist Kevin Roth. He shares his story of how he was diagnosed with stage-three melanoma in 2016 and was told that he had just a few years left to live. He openly shares how he navigated his diagnosis and ultimately discovered what matters most in his life. Now thriving, he teaches others how to play the Dulcimer in a mindfulness practice coined as "Dulcimeditation". 

You can learn more at kevinroth.org and listen to his 50 musical albums on Spotify, including his Dulcimeditation album.

"Kevin Roth began to play the dulcimer in 1972 at the old age of thirteen, and at sixteen recorded his first album for Folkways / Smithsonian Folkways Records, which immediately launched him into international fame. Between 1974 and 1984 Roth recorded ten albums with this label, establishing himself as a prominent folk singer and dulcimer player. In 1984, Roth performed the theme to the PBS-TV children’s show Shining Time Station, which brought him to another new and much larger market. His friendship and collaboration in 2006 with Noel Paul Stookey, of the legendary folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary, further cemented Roth in American folk history. His career took him to a concert and symphony stages around the world, to festivals, radio, television shows, and two appearances at the White House."
