Yearly Archives: 2018

We are three fiddlers from three very different backgrounds – Danish, American, and Native American – who love to play together. Jamie’s Métis tradition, evolved from the melding of French Canadian, Irish and Native American music, has a Celtic flavor with a hint of Native American drumming. Kristian’s Danish tradition combines bright Nordic melodies with a powerful rhythm and lively fiddle seconding. Ruthie’s American style is syncopated and a bit bluesy. We like to show how each culture brings its own voice to the fiddle. But sometimes we just combine our styles and see what happens! We hope that you will enjoy listening to it, just as much as we enjoy playing it.

How exciting with this new project, a pleasure to be part of it, thank you for the interest and the good initiative, Morten Alfred Høirup: SPILLEFOLKENES HEMMELIGHEDER – EN REJSE I DANSK FOLKEMUSIK!

“In the brand new podcast series, Spillefolkenes Hemmeligheder we speak with some of the most distinctive personalities in the Danish folk music scene right now. We ask them about the core of their work and together we show some of their deepest secrets.”

The first 6 series have just been published, enjoy! Listen here: www.radiofolk.dk/spillefolkenes-hemmeligheder/?hp=5024

– sorry, my non-Danish speaking friends, this new podcast series is only in Danish. But if you want to explore the site www.radiofolk.dk, you will find programs in English as well as the ones in Danish.

During June 4-6th we were 5 musicians gathered at Kongegaarden in Korsør to launch a new project that we hope to bring out on the road in the summer of 2019.

With the support from the Danish Arts Foundation, 32 videos are now available online!
15 Danish “Rigspillemænd” (National Folk Musicians) are playing and talking about their music (only in Danish though.) Great documentation of Danish traditional music and its diversity!

Among the tunes I played when the video team was visiting my home, this Rask Kontra was selected and on the link here I tell a little about my music 🙂
