Thord
is the band's very talanted banjo player. He has several years of experience with his "5-string banjo", and he has contributed to many recordings with it. Thord began to listen to American folk music as a teenager, and it became a passion which hasn't cooled down through the years. It has, on the contrary, become even more deep-rooted. 

 


 

 

Helén
adds an extra dimension to the band because of her professional way to handle her stand-up bass. Even more unique is her accordian-like instrument called "durspel", which she seems to play with the greatest of ease producing "by magic" the most captivating tunes.

Add to that, Helén sings and plays guitar and fiddle.

Helén has taken part in many different band configurations and played many different kinds of music, but American folk music has always been the first love of her musical career.


Peggy,
the happy American who is the band's positive force, has lived in Brĺn, Sweden, since the fall of 2001. She comes from Michigan, USA, where she had played American folk music, including old-time music and bluegrass, during all her adult life. In addition to that she also plays Irish music.

Her main instruments are the hammered dulcimer and Irish penny whistle, but she also plays guitar, and in other contexts even flute. Peggy also sings, and dances the American folk dance, Appalachian clogging.

 

Jonas, the newest band member, plays mandolin, gitarr and sings
