Renee Vaughan and Adam Kiesling: New and Traditional Nordic Folk Music

Renee and Adam play new and traditional Nordic folk music on nyckelharpa and guitar… high energy slängpolska, contemplative gånglåt and delicate waltzes are favorites. Adam loves a wide variety of music, especially deep-rooted American old-time tunes recorded in the 1920s and 30s. Adam also plays banjo, upright bass, resonator guitar, mandolin and ukulele. Renee plays nyckelharpa, a rustic and earthy traditional Scandinavian instrument that dates back to the 1300s. Renee performs throughout the midwest with many different musical constellations, and is a regular at the American Swedish Institute, Høstfest and Nisswa-Stämmän Scandinavian music festivals.
