The brothers Moraeus, Leif Göras and Nicke Göthe play together in
Orsa Spelmän. During the summers the members of BAO meet up and rehearse, and then go out on mini-tours, to which tickets are highly sought after. The concept of these tours are "a concert with dance", so a dance floor is brought along. Körberg and Sjöholm together perform the vocals for the non-instrumental songs. ==Discography==
