Excerpt from GF Herald:
EAST GRAND FORKS – A Nordic folk music duo is returning here to perform at 5 p.m. Monday, July 22, at the East Grand Forks Campbell Library.
Admission is a freewill donation at the door.
Vidar Skrede and Patrik Ahlberg, who perform as “Lynx Lynx,” play Norwegian and Swedish folk music.
Native Scandinavians who have chosen to settle in the Midwest, Skrede and Ahlberg play a mix of music that includes their original and traditional Nordic fiddle tunes.
They play a variety of stringed instruments, including the fiddle, Hardanger fiddle, guitar and mandolin.
Ahlberg, a native of Sweden, lives in Chicago. Skrede, a Norwegian Hardanger fiddler, resides in Milwaukee. The pair has performed several times at the East Grand Forks library.
