About Me

Greetings! This is my nyckelharpa spot featuring recordings of my latest nyckelharpa material. The rest of my tunes - in abc format- are at my website http://grissanderson.com There are about 60 fiddle tunes there, some of which were recorded with Waulk Elektrik or performed by Spyka. My nyckelharpa was made by Ake Ahlastrand in 2002, and I found it waiting for me at St. Chartier in 2005. It hasn't been in it's box much since. My new album 'Harpaphonics' (due for release on 19th January 2009) will be in the prestigious fRoots Playlist chart for their December 2008 issue. A track from the album will also be included on the December fRoots Radio hosted by Mondomix. Both appear in mid-November.Check them out!'Spring Storm' features Max Moya Wright (of Ojos de Brujo) on Cajon with James Dumbelton on bodhran and Riaan Vosloo on bass.Erdely reels features Toby Morgan on guitar, James on bodhran and Powerful Sam Yeboah on djembe.The video for the track 'Irime' features Fumiaki Tanaka and Gris, and the music is performed by Gris on nyckleharpa, Alex Roth on guitar, Russell Harris on zarb. Powerful Sam Yeboah plays the djembe and Josh Stopford is on bass guitar.
