Norwegian Bachelor Farmers

The Norwegian Bachelor Farmers, Kyle and Dave, have been entertaining audiences for over two decades with their eclectic blend of Scandinavian music, storytelling, and humor. Past credits include: Nordic Fest in Decorah, IA, Norwegian National League in Park Ridge, IL, Scandinavian Days in South Elgin, IL, Norsk Høstfest in Minot, ND, and many other Scandinavian festivals throughout the Midwest.

Kyle Elsbernd is originally from Decorah, IA. Kyle studied the Norwegian language for two years in high school and through a college study abroad program in Oslo, Norway. Upon returning to the US, Kyle began translating the music of Norwegian folk musician Lillebjorn Nilsen, whose music now forms the basis of their show.

David Kirkeby is also a native of Decorah, IA. Dave returned to the Midwest after two decades in Arizona. A master guitarist, Dave is thrilled to join his old band mate in a celebration of Scandinavian music and culture.
