Bruce Sagan & lydia ievins

We are very excited to announce the release of our new CD, Northlands. This project draws together a collection of our original tunes, inspired by our shared passion for Scandinavian fiddle traditions and composed in traditional styles. You'll find waltzes, schottises, polskas, and more -- all in rich twin-fiddle harmonies, played on fiddles and nyckelharpas.
