Frigg with Kaivama
The Cedar welcomes back the Finnish-Norwegian fiddling folksters Frigg, a firm fan favorite from their knockout appearances at Nordic Roots Festivals and on A Prairie Home Companion. With their wall of fiddles, youthful energy, and creative instrumentation that includes a double bass, guitar/dobro, and cittern, Frigg are a force to be reckoned with, and a live "must-see." Opening tonight will be Minnesota Finnish folk fiddle and guitar duo Kaivama.
The Cedar is now fully air-conditioned for your year-round comfort!
