For our October show in the Community Concert Series, we welcome back Tjärnblom in support of FamilyWise! This concert is FREE to attend, with 100% of proceeds from a freewill offering benefiting our neighbors at FamilyWise.---> ABOUT THE PERFORMERS <---
Tjärnblom, Swedish for "woodland lake flower", is a Scandinavian-style string band featuring a beautiful blend of Nyckelharpa, Octave Mandolin, Harmonium and Cello. They travel a modern "Snoose Boulevard Highway" in a musical journey, and play a repertoire of both old and new Swedish, Finnish, and Minnesota tunes for dancing and for listening. They’ve performed across the state of Minnesota, and have appeared on Minnesota Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion show. The name Tjärnblom is in honor of the Swedish grandfather of one of the band members.
