Väsen & Hawktail is out now!

This album is a joint release from Padiddle Records/Olov Johansson Musik. Here are the liner notes written by Robert Simonds of NorthSide Records:

The music of Väsen is foundational to the members of Hawktail. They avidly followed (and played) it as teenagers, and then as they moved through their music education and early professional careers. Encountering these young musicians at festivals, Väsen quickly recognized and appreciated the talents and clever musical inventiveness of Hawktail. Aspirations to collaborate rarely advance beyond the idea stage: “let’s try to do something together sometime!”

But in this instance an application by Väsen to the Swedish Arts Council resulted in funding for two collaborative tours (one each in Sweden and the U.S.), which laid the groundwork for yet more touring and a week of recording in Sweden. Let’s hope it’s just the beginning of a long and fruitful musical relationship.

This set, honed by those first tours, combines original tunes already established in each of the band’s repertoires (but newly arranged for this 5-piece ensemble), with freshly composed music for the collaboration. Usually the tune is a polska, that infinitely variable 3-beat rhythm that permeates Swedish traditional music, and universally just gets under your skin. In the hands of these five enormously talented acoustic musicians, it’s like mining for joy.

-Robert Simonds

Happy release day to and and congrats on their second album together. These are two of the finest fiddler/composers in the business, in our opinion :) Say “yeah” if you love the fiddle…

New album, HAAS coming May 26 on Padiddle Records with Brittany Haas!

You can pre-order/pre-save the album and listen to the first single here: lnk.to/HAAS
If you’d like a physical copy, those are available on Bandcamp: https://brittanyhaas.bandcamp.com/album/haas

About this first single: these melodies came about in a little writing retreat, but really came to life when Britt and I got together to prepare some music for a tour of France & Austria last summer. She is the easiest person to play with and the best musician I know; I'm so lucky to have her for a sister! Free Space is about leaving space for silence in music (and for the good things in life), and Reel for Dennis is a tribute to our musical hero, the great Dennis Cahill. I hope you find joy in listening!
