Kyle Elsbernd
Originally from Decorah, IA, Kyle studied Norwegian in high school and college and won a grant from the Norwegian government for a year’s study abroad in Norway. There he began translating the music of Norwegian folk musician Lillebjørn Nilsen, whose traditional and modern songs form the basis of this show.
David Kirkeby
Also a native of Decorah, IA, Dave returned to the Midwest after two decades in sunny Arizona. A master guitarist, Dave is thrilled to join his old band mate in a celebration of Scandinavian music and culture.
