Fresno Spelman (which translates from Swedish to "Fresno Band") is a local Swedish folk music group that has been together for more than 20 years. Locally, the group has performed at several Kingsburg Swedish Festivals and for the Fresno Folklore Society. Worldwide, the band has toured Sweden twice and played at Swedish accordion festivals in New York City and New Jersey.
The band is led by Lennart Kullberg, who was born in Sweden in 1945 and moved to Fresno in 1972. He spends his summers in Sweden playing his accordion at various festivals. On mandolin and fiddle is Terry Barrett, a full-time piano tuner. Jon Adams, a violinist and guitarist, rounds out the group.
