Skål Klubben Spelmanslag was featured in the national broadcast of River of Song, Music on the Mississippi, on PBS television. They have traveled twice to Scandinavia to take part in music festivals and learn new tunes, and have hosted many Scandinavian groups on tour in America.

The orkestra has three recordings to their credit and have performed annually at many festivals around the midwest. They have been regulars at the Minnesota State Fair, Nisswa-stämman in Nisswa, MN, and Nordic Fest in Decorah, IA.
