Brittany Haas, Lena Jonsson - The Snake (2024)

Brittany Haas and Lena Jonsson – two of the world's most sought after and buzzworthy fiddlers and composers – have announced their first duo album in nearly ten years, The Snake (due July 12 on Padiddle Records). The project follows the pair of innovative and emotive instrumentalists on a winding journey through 12 joyful and bold tunes (including 9 originals) which were written and recorded in East Nashville over two weeks in March 2023. Since their self-titled 2015 recording, they each have worked and toured with an array of critically-acclaimed acts – Hawktail, Punch Brothers, The Goodbye Girls, Lena Jonsson Trio, and many more – honing their writing, arranging, and playing skills and sharpening their points of view. The Snake is adventurous and unbridled, contained only by confidence, taste, and trust. It blends freedom and tradition, combining old-time's grit, classical’s grandeur, bluegrass’ improvisation, and Swedish folk’s groove – as only Brittany Haas and Lena Jonsson could.
