There are a couple of events this week that have a Nordic theme. The local one is at Norskedalen Heritage Center that is hosting a band from Norway tomorrow--September 28, 2008: Vestre Gausdal, Norway Musikkforening Concert at Shelter House with Arne Halvorson.

The other is happening in Minneapolis, Nordic Roots Fest celebrating its 10th and last year. Next Fest will be a Global Roots Fest and in a broader reach will not have the depth that has been a hallmark of the gathering over the years. This Nordic celebration was the first Saturday music feature for KickTime--unfortunately the video is long gone off the web--and choosing a group from their list of performers is sure to be interesting. So here is Triakel.
