Skygårdskapellet

Skygårdskapellet har spelat ihop sedan tidigt 80-tal. Vi har under alla år spelat på bluegrassfetivaler, festivaler, evenamang, kalas, gammaldanser och allt möjligt mellan himmel och jord samt alla bygdegårdar i Värmland. Ena foten i Lousianas träskmarker andra foten i Skillingsmarks och Glavas visskatter därtill en tryckande och sugande rejländer efter Mats Ede´n. Vi spelar helst akustiskt men måste i bland sätta upp ett par mickar vid större gig. Mycket svett och glädje till det vi gör.To abroad friends: We live in the town Arvika situated in Sweden and the county of Värmland close to the boarder of Norway. The Band was formed back in around 1981 emerging from a lot av jamming with singing and playing together with friends. Influences came from all kinds of folkmusic, country and oldtime music, folksongs and storytelling. We have played over the years on lots of festivals, conserts, partys, old countrydances and gatherings of all kinds. We do have great fun when we come together. The name of the band needs an explanation. Skygård is old dialect for "fence" they used along time ago the keep the cattle from running away from the fields. The word kapell is just an old word for band. So "The old fence band" could be an appropriate translation. Hope you will enjoy what we do and share some time together with us.
