Andrea Hoag (Violin) is a regular featured fiddler at Scandia D.C. She studied fiddle with Swedish tradition bearers Jonny Soling and Kalle Almlöf
at Malungs Folkhögskola in the Dalarna provence of Sweden during 1983-1984. She has since made two
extended trips to Sweden to study and perform. From 1984 to 1991, she was the director of Seattle's
Skandia Spelmanslag (fiddler group). Andrea is a versatile, expressive fiddler who has performed widely
around the U.S. and in Sweden. She received a Grammy nomination for her 2006 CD Hambo in the Snow
with Loretta Kelley and Charlie Pilzer, and is a WAMMIE winner for "Best Traditional Folk
Instrumentalist" from The Washington Area Music Association. Andrea has several recordings
available, and performs around the mid-Atlantic with Maggie Sansone, Sue Richards, Jody Marshall, and
the bands Emerald Glen, Cabaret Sauvignon and Serpentine. Her newest project is a cross-cultural,
multimedia collaboration with fiddlers Liz Knowles and David Greely, and several others. The
Washington Post's Richard Harrington writes of Andrea's music, "Call it a fiddle, call it a violin -
in her hands it is simply a marvelous string instrument that fits into myriad traditions anf fuels many
cross-cultural fusions."
