Dwight Lamb – Danish & American Melodies

Category: Tag:

Description

Join master button box player Dwight Lamb for a trip from the fertile fields of Iowa to his ancestors’ homeland in Denmark.

Lively vintage recordings of his grandfather join Dwight’s own recordings of “Dane tunes” he learned as a boy. Also included are rare recordings of Dwight with his mentor, Bob Walters, playing acrobatic fiddle and accordion duets, and a special visit from new friends and well-known Danish traditional musicians, Mette Jensen and Kristian Bugge, playing one of Dwight’s great-grandfather’s tunes.

A century ago, the flourishing community of Danish immigrants in western Iowa danced to these lively button box tunes; now they can be enjoyed all over the world.

Featuring
Historical recordings of Chris Jerup and Bob Walters
Recent recordings (2010) with Nate Kemperman, Amber Gaddy & David Cavins and Mette Jensen & Kristian Bugge
