(event) Nordic Roots Festival: Lännen-Jukka String Band Music Starts:1:00 pm In a completely new direction for the festival, Lännen-Jukka String Band, featuring Finnish pop music star J. Karjalainen, fearlessly tackles in Finnish the Charley Patton-inspired blues of fellow Finn Lännen-Jukka. Lännen-Jukka spent over a decade as a young man in pre-depression era USA, traveling the rails and absorbing the folk, hillbilly and blues stylings of the time, before returning to a quiet life in Finland until his death in 1981. (event) Nordic Roots Festival: Harv and Den Fule Music Starts:7:00 pm Harv started out in the folk fiddle duet tradition, but has now expanded to being a lively quartet.
