Scandinavian Power String Band Comes to Calumet

frigg

The Calumet Theatre, Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital, Heartland Communications and Minnesota Public Radio present the Scandinavian fiddle group Frigg for one performance on Saturday, October 18th at 7:30 pm.

Acoustic Nordic folk music is advanced by the next generation through Frigg, a new group rich with folk heritage from Finland and Norway. Frigg (the Norse goddess of love and fertility) is a multitalented Finnish-Norwegian septet that offers fresh Scandinavian folk fiddling accompanied by fretted instruments, upright bass, and endless energy. Combining elements of their respective folk traditions, a mixture of Kaustinen (Finland) and Nord-Trondelag (Norway), with touches of American Appalachian and country & western music, they create an entirely new sound of Finnish/Norwegian fiddle music which feels simultaneously innovative yet familiar.

The seven-piece band contains three young Järveläs, two sons and a daughter of the most famous fiddle family in Finland, whose fathers and uncles founded JPP, and two Larsen brothers, members of a comparable Norwegian Hardanger fiddle clan. The traditional sounds are then supercharged with innovative arrangements, and combined with mandola, cittern, double bass, guitar and dobro.
