We are a lively, energetic polka band from the Seattle, Washington area. Although our music leans heavily on the ethnic polka, it is not exclusively that way, as we also like the other two kinds of music: Country AND Western!
All kidding aside, we do like to play a variety of music, ranging from polka to waltz, infusing country and western swing as well as straight-up swing. We're just as comfortable playing a dance as we are on stage at a festival. The band is 12 years old, and is manned by Toby Hanson, our fearless accordionist.

The Smilin' Scandinavians are signed with Mydnyte Records. If you'd like more information about Mydnyte, visit the website at http://www.mydnyterecords.com.
