Exploring the roots, shoots and fruits of Scandinavian and Nordic traditions.

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.

You’ll hear the fiddle in its purest form, unaccompanied, as we each do a solo set and talk about the music. Together, we play in duets and trios, using only fiddles for accompaniment. We also feature a few tunes on the 5-string medieval fiddle (“vielle”). Most of our music is traditional, but we have a few distinctive originals as well.

I have been interested in writing my own music since I was very young (5 or 6 years old) and was encouraged by my first piano teacher, Greta Westfelt. I studied musicology at the universities in Gothenburg and in Stockholm, and I also have a background from science, IT and engineering studies. Many of my musical works can be purchased online as printouts of sheet music from a couple of websites. I write, arrange and make demo tracks of classical, modern classical, jazz, folk, electronic and pop music.

Studies in composition in Sweden and France. Writes about contemporary music. Performs live electronics and poetry. Works @ Audiorama as artistic director.
