How to play in a band, with Guro Kvifte Nesheim
About the episode
In this episode I’m speaking with Norwegian Hardanger fiddler Guro Kvifte Nesheim. She is a very innovative and productive musician, and I've been a fan of her work for some time now.
I’m very happy that Guro could join me for this episode, because she has a lot of experience when it comes to today’s topic, which is Scandinavian traditional music played in bands. Yes, this is how nerdy and niche the show is already on episode three (!)
In our conversation we touch on things like why the Scandi music has mainly been a solo tradition, how the the folk revival in the 1970s affected the scene, how to transfer the hardanger music into a band format, why there are more folk music bands in Sweden than in Norway and some predictions about the future.
