about

Acoustic duo Erin and Kelly met each other some years back at the monthly old-time jam at Liz Fischbach’s 1642 Bar in Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles. Finding affinity over all things Swedish (Erin studied Swedish folk music in Northern Sweden and Kelly is a half-Swede) and sharing artistic ties across the city, they became fast friends. Aside from meeting up at jams and tune parties, Erin and Kelly started to play a gig or two here and there, and Kelly asked Erin to contribute accordion to a track on her solo album. Summer of 2021 found them both with a summer sabbatical of sorts and pining to fill that time with a project around the old-time fiddle melodies they love, Erin said, “Let’s record an album!” “Yes, let's,” Kelly replied.

And so they got together weekly or so working through some of their enduring faves and adding new material from Erin’s magnificent sense for a tasty tune. As summer came to a close, they scheduled recording dates with her dad at the Schneider family home in Venice. The results, these 10 songs and tunes stretching from the sacred harp to the Carter Family, beloved fiddle tunes, the gospel of E.C. and Orna Ball (from which they derived the album’s title), and Scandinavian folk.

Erin and Kelly hope you enjoy it. Thank you for listening!

Many thanks to John Schneider for his magick fingers and ears and time in bringing this album to fruition.
