Skalmusik to perform at several area librarys today and tomorrow.

Founded in 1990, Skålmusik (pronounced Skoalmusik) of Brainerd, Minnesota is a five piece ensemble that performs traditional Scandinavian and Scandinavian/American dance and vocal music. Native Midwesterners often remark that Skålmusik really know how to “put the ‘yump’” in their tunes! They have toured widely in the Midwest and beyond, playing at a variety of events including ethnic festivals, community celebrations, state fairs, and, of course, old time dances.
