Patrik Ahlberg
Patrik Ahlberg is a multi-instrumentalist from Sweden. He regularly plays and performs music of both the United States and Sweden.
His current projects include duets of contemporary tunes and arrangements with Nashville fiddler George Jackson, a duo with Norwegian hardanger fiddler Vidar Skrede, and a solo exploration of Swedish fiddle tunes on the classical guitar.
Patrik Ahlberg and Vidar Skrede grew up in Sweden and Norway, respectively, in the folk music scene of Scandinavia. We both have extensive background in performing, recording, and teaching our traditional music in both Scandinavia and in America. We first met as immigrants in Chicago in 2016, which was the beginning of our duo, Lynx Lynx.
Together we perform traditional tunes from our home countries, along with our original compositions, across various combinations of fiddles, harding fiddles, guitars, and a mandolin.
