Explore folk traditions of the North Atlantic
- old, new, and yet to be created.

Three friends came together in Sweden in the summer of 2023 and decided that they would share their love of the traditional music from their respective countries together as creative musical travelers. Jennifer hails from Halifax, a lively city on the Atlantic coast of Canada where many different folk genres can be heard, such as Maritime Old Time, Cape Breton, Irish, Acadian, and others. Stefan and Peter live in Rättvik in Dalarna, Sweden, an area particularly rich with musical tradition where cultural forms are passed down with pride and transformed anew with each generation. As experienced performers, recording artists, and educators each in their own right, Peter, Stefan, and Jennifer found themselves united by their passion for their own and each other’s music, and the desire to explore the folk genres of all the geographical points in between. They released their first album “Havet” in 2024 and have toured in Sweden and Canada ever since.
