An Evening with Northern Resonance & Tall Poppy String Band

City Winery Nashville Presents An Evening with Northern Resonance & Tall Poppy String Band live in concert on April 22nd at 7:00pm

Tall Poppy String Band and Northern Resonance are kindred spirit string trios at the forefront of their respective fields, deeply informed by American Old Time and Swedish music traditions while bringing together new instrument combinations and approaches to add to the canon of tradition. Like the Appalachian mountains of the US and the Scandinavian Mountains of Sweden which were once connected before continental drift, there’s a musical through line that connects the historic string band music of Sweden and the string band music that emerged in the US with the convergence of European and African influences. Together these bands present a musical journey across geography, modality and dance forms connecting the music of Sweden, America and beyond and then performing together to reconnect the old continents once again through music. 

Northern Resonance is the Scandinavian string trio that takes newly composed folk music into enormous soundscapes. With their previously untested combination of instruments; viola d’amore, hardanger fiddle and nyckelharpa they let Scandinavian music meet explosive rhythms and grand chamber-like arrangements that takes folk music in a new direction. All members are highly skilled and accomplished musicians, rooted in traditional music. With an intense musical connection that is rare to come across, they invite you into their world of compositions. There is great life in their tunes, and the trio knows how to bring it out.With their debut album that was released in the autumn of 2020, Northern Resonance have already established themselves with a glorious sound. The album was nominated for a Swedish Grammy and the trio is going to release their upcoming album in 2024.
