"Scandinavian 'gammaldans" music in
the tradition of Sweden, Norway,
Denmark and Finland comes alive
when Skål Klubben hits the stage."

Skål Klubben Spelmanslag

Skål Klubben Spelmanslag is a traditional Scandinavian folk orkestra, founded in 1990, who play "gammaldans" music of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark on fiddles, accordion, guitar, pump organ, and double bass. The orkestra is comprised of around 19 traditional folk musicians from around Minnesota.

The Skål Klubben Spelmanslag was featured in the national broadcast of River of Song, Music on the Mississippi, on PBS television. They have traveled twice to Scandinavia to take part in music festivals and learn new tunes, and have hosted many Scandinavian groups on tour in America. The orkestra has three recordings to their credit and have performed annually at many festivals around the midwest.

They have been regulars at the Minnesota State Fair, Nisswa-stämman in Nisswa, MN, and Nordic Fest in Decorah, IA. They delight their audiences with traditional Scandinavian dance music from Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.
