Diana Wagner Music

About Diana

     Diana Wagner is an acoustic musician and folksinger who preserves and shares historic and traditional folk music.  As an  historian, collector, and performer of historic and traditional music, Diana gives voice to our musical traditions and tells the stories behind the songs.  

     Born in Northern Wisconsin, Diana plays acoustic and classical guitar, dulcimer, a bit of banjo and diddley-bow.  She also plays multiple percussion hand instruments.  Folk audiences know that her show-opening trademark is to begin without any instruments and an a capella mountain song or ballad.  Whether singing Civil War songs, blue grass foot-tappers, or Irish love ballads, or indie fok from from contemporary backroads, Diana is committed to telling the personal stories and sharing the histories of the people who have come before us and who walk with us. 

      Diana is also a classical guitarist with a variety of musical interests.  In addition, she directs the Maryland site of Guitars in the Classroom, an innovative program that brings guitars and music integration to classrooms across the Eastern Shore.
