Our fiddle duo concert from Portland, Oregon March 9th is now online and can be streamed via this link for a little longer! Read much more there on youtube, enjoy!
The beautiful short film about our friend, fiddler and accordion player Dwight Lamb from Iowa, USA is now available online via South Dakota Public Broadcasting, follow this link! Dwight grew up in the little town Moorhead in southwestern Iowa. His grandfather Chris Jerup, had emigrated from Vendsyssel, Denmark back in 1893. Chris was a musician and brought along a large repertoire of Danish dance tunes, which he passed on to his grandson, Dwight. The film tells the story about how Dwight ended up playing this music all his long life. And how the music made its way back to Denmark, enjoy!
Ladies and gentlemen, I’m so happy to announce that this new EP now is out and available on all streaming services! Look for “Fiddle duets, Seattle: Chapter One” on your preferred streaming service! Hope you’ll enjoy it! Hear it on spotify here!
Btw, this duo will be on tour along the US west coast in Feb/March 2026 and still have dates available, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have ideas for that!
Happy Holidays and please share the music with friends and family!
I’m excited to share the news from back home, that our duo Jensen & Buggeis nominated in the Tradition Award category at The Danish Roots Music Awards! We’re honored to be nominated alongside some fantastic colleagues and musicians and congratulate all the other nominees!
The big award show will be held November 30th at Bremen Theater in Copenhagen, looking forward to seeing you there!
I’m happy to announce that that my application for a new work visa to the USA has been approved and is now valid for a year until early June 2026!
That is worth celebrating and already on the 4th of June I’ll be travelling to the Midwest and later New York City. I’ll be performing both solo and with Bill Peterson and more good friends from South Dakota and not the least a number of concerts with Ruthie Dornfeld from Seattle (see it all in the calender). I’m looking a lot forward to be coming back and play and meet with many good friends!
Many heartfelt thank yous goes out to everyone who has helped making this happen!!!
We’re very happy to share this with you: our full set of ten tunes from the concert at the great Alice venue in Copenhagen has now been released on a live album! We played there on April 3rd 2024 and shared the night with the great Swedish trio, Hialøsa. And very luckily, the sound engineer that evening, recorded everything and when we got it and listened back, we decided to release it as a digital album. Here’s who helped make that happen:
Engineer at Alice: Isak Koppel Levy Lenau Mix: Jonas Graverholt, Sonnich Lydom & Kristian Bugge Master: Søren Oliver Due Cover art: Sara Veinholt Piano & Indian harmonium: Malene Daniels Beck Accordion, harmonica & vocals: Sonnich Lydom Fiddle & vocals: Kristian Bugge

We’re extremely thankful and honored to recieve this year’s ‘Tradition Award’ at the Danish Music Award Roots in Odense on November 9th 2024! Sonnich was there to personally take home the “bird” and give a speach from the stage. At the afterparty he celebrated by playing with ‘Det Yderste Hav’ for a festive Fanø dance!

Mette Kathrine Jensen Stærk and I have produced two chapters about Dwight Lamb and his music as a part of the podcast series Jysk Guld – Folkemusik i Danmark. Dwight Lamb grew up in Iowa, USA with a Danish grandfather by the name of Chris Jerup. Chris came to the US in 1893 with his wife and two kids. But he also brough an accordion and a fiddle with him, because his dad back in Denmark was a very active and well-known musician in the northern region of Vendsyssel, known by the name Kræn Jerup. Chris passed the tunes on to Dwight, who continued to play his whole life, all the way to his passing as 90-year old on September 29th 2024.
Mette and I were lucky enough to meet Dwight on our first trip to the US in 2008. Det became the beginning to a warm friendship and countless trips, concerts, dance evenings and jamsessions.
Both podcast-chapters (presented in English) can be found both via the Radiofolk.dk website and on a number of podcast-systems (Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Podcast, PocketCast and more) – just search for ‘Jysk Guld – Dwight Lamb’.
Enjoy and please help us spread the knowledge about these podcasts and the unique story about Dwight!
Thanks a lot to Radiofolk.dk for the very nice podcast-portrait with interviews and live music from this summer’s concert at the beautiful Gl. Estrup castle chapel near Auning in Jutland, Denmark. Hear it here!
