Biography
Alicia is a fiddler in the Swedish tradition but her repertoire stretches into Norway and Finland as well
as the British Isles. Alicia has a strong sense of melody and timing and a playing that is both ornate
and powerful. In Swedish traditional music, the fiddle often plays the role of a second voice, with
harmonies and counter melodies. These come through in Alicia’s music.
Alicia has played and studied
with many of the influential fiddlers in Sweden, including Mikael Marin of Väsen, as well as with
Shetland fiddler Aly Bain. She has a performance degree in Swedish folk music from the Royal Academy of
Music in Stockholm. Alicia plays solo, as well as in the Swedish group Ditt Ditt Darium and
Swedish-Breton group Anak among other musical projects. She currently lives in Philadelphia.
