It all started with a catchy tune and a half dozen rusty musicians who felt compelled to dust off their instruments. Fifteen years later, we continue to play from the heart, and have developed a polished and exciting sound. The instruments you will likely hear are the nyckelharpa (Swedish keyed fiddle), tussefløyte (Norwegian style recorder), hardingfele (Norwegian understring fiddle), jawharp, guitar, and the customary assortment of ordinary fiddles. We call ourselves Chicago Spelmanslag, which is a Scandinavian expression meaning 'gang of musicians from Chicago playing folk music from Scandinavia.'
