Tyunes

Tyunes

Tyunes are a four strong-piece instrumental string band who combine American, Shetland, Scottish and Irish traditional melodies in an old time string band style.

Band members hail from across Shetland, all part of the local music scene for a number of years - Kenny Johnson on mandolin, Lynda Anderson on fiddle, Grant Nicol on guitar and Graham Malcolmson on bass.

Tapping into the old time tradition while living in Nashville, Lynda brought home some of these tunes and with Tyunes, has combined them with Shetland and wider Scottish and Irish influences to create fresh arrangements and a unique Shetland-American sound.
