Hear Loretta Kelley and Andrea Hoag play traditional Norwegian & Swedish fiddle music

We don't often get a chance to hear traditional Norwegian and Swedish fiddle music. So join us at Immanuel Lutheran on Dec. 3 for music and dancing. A donation of $10 is appreciated. Presented by Ingevalds Spelmän music group.

Loretta Kelley and Andrea Hoag were nominated for a Grammy for their CD "Hambo in the Snow". They are celebrating their new CD "Hambo in the Garden", their 6th collaboration.

Loretta is America's best-known player of Norway's beautiful and exotic-sounding Hardanger fiddle. She studied with many of Norway's greatest fiddlers, and is well known in Norway and the U.S. In 2011 she won Norway's national fiddle contest, and she has played for top dancers in dance contests.

Andrea is a graduate of Malungs Folkhögskola in Sweden. She has also studied with many of Sweden's great fiddlers, and she has performed extensively in the U.S. and Sweden. She is known for her beautiful, authentic sound and her traditional styling.
