FRIGG (Finland / Norway)

Finland and Norway meet in this project featuring three of the ongoing dynasty of fiddling Kaustinen Järveläs - Antti, Esko and Alina - who also cover double bass and harmonium, with Petri Prauda on cittern and mandolin and Tuomas Logrén on guitar and dobro, plus two Norwegian fiddle and hardingfele players, Gjermund and Einar-Olav Larsen.
 
The band flies, in a mix of traditional and their own tunes, all shapely, ingenious and delivered with acute mastery and massive swing and energy. The Norwegian input blends perfectly and adds another dimension, as does the curling whizz of Logrén's dobro.

Antti Järvelä - double bass, fiddle, viola, harmonium
Esko Järvelä - viola, fiddle, nyckelharpa, harmonium
Alina Järvelä - fiddle
Gjermund Larsen - fiddle, hardanger fiddle
Einar-Olav Larsen - fiddle, hardanger fiddle
Tuomas Logren - guitar, dobro
