Tristan Clarridge, Lena Jonsson and Dominick Leslie

Arcata Playhouse

A musical meeting of three of the US and Sweden’s most respected young acoustic adventurers… Masterful Swedish fiddler Lena Jonsson unites with mandolin wizard Dominick Leslie and National Fiddle Champion & rhythmic cellist Tristan Clarridge, bridging the Atlantic with strong roots of Swedish and American traditional music. Though their roots are in far-flung corners of the world, their shared connections in the language of music are strong: a deep respect for the traditional tunes, ears that are open to exploring new sounds, and a sense of playfulness and spontaneous joy in making music together. Collectively, these three have studied with many of acoustic music’s greatest legends; Lena from members of the Swedish folk supergroup Väsen and a host of Sweden’s most revered traditional masters, Tristan from Darol Anger, Alasdair Fraser & Mark O’Connor, and Dominick from mandolin gods David Grisman, Mike Marshall and Chris Thile, to name a few. The musical conversation is playful and exuberant, exploring old and new songs and tunes of Sweden, Ireland, the Appalachian mountains, and beyond. All three grew up in a musical household, learning and absorbing music since just about the day they were born. Lena was raised in Hälsingland, Sweden, in a family where everyone plays the fiddle. Tristan grew up in a tipi, in the mountains of northern California, attending fiddle camps all over the country and playing in his first fiddle contest at age 3. A native of Colorado, Dominick attended his first bluegrass festival at the age of 5 months, and has immersed himself in music ever since.
