Hailing all the way from the hinterlands of Norway, Geitungen presents Norwegian traditional music as you have never heard it before. This young trio's sound is at once comfortingly ancient and fiercely modern, with an irresistible energy that will have you tapping your toes and itching to dance. Following on the heels of popular Scandinavian folk bands such as Väsen, Geitungen takes the beautiful and groovy dance tunes of their own hometown and creates music that is new, exciting and original. Geitungen is comprised of three award-winning musicians: Vidar Skrede, Christer Rossebø and Håvard Ims. On a huge assortment of instruments (fiddle, melodeon, mandolin, Norwegian hardanger fiddle, mandola and guitars) these three immensely talented musicians fill a room with a sound that dispenses with the mundane boundaries of time and space and situates the audience in a place of pure joy.
