Strandön are vocalist & accordionist Sunniva Brynnel (SWEDEN), pianist Utsav Lal (INDIA), and double bassist Dan Klingsberg (USA).
Individually, their experiences are quite broad and reach across a wide spectrum of musical styles. Together they play music inspired by their travels and background. In their sonic world of traditional and original music you will hear Celtic, Swedish, Indian, and American sounds intermingling into a unified whole.

He released his first recording at the age of 16. He previously studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and is currently enrolled at the New England Conservatory.
