Favoriting January 13, 2024: Gabbi Dluzewski of Fränder

Fränder is an exciting, (mostly) young, mostly Swedish band making waves with their rock-informed take on old and new Swedish and Estonian music. It's a family band, mostly: Gabbi Dluzewski launched it with his brother, sister, and wife. Gabbi joins us to introduce their new album, Fränder II, and introduce his instrument, the swedish mandola, ahead of Fränder's appearance at a free showcase at Scandinavia House this Saturday afternoon at 3.
