The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc is a fiddle trio from Norway, Sweden and the Shetland Islands who swiftly gained a reputation for their gripping and unique blend of fiddle music since their inception in early 2009. Comprising Olav Luksengård Mjelva (Norway), Anders Hall (Sweden) and Kevin Henderson (Shetland Islands), each regarded as leading exponents of their respective traditions, they have found themselves in great demand throughout the world performing together as “The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc”. With a firm focus on the rich traditional fiddle music from where they each belong, they have developed a sound that has been described as “meaningful”, “intense” and “invigorating”. Their clever use of harmony, rhythm, riffs and bass lines creates a sound that leaves the listener enthralled but at the same time dumbfounded that the sound only comes from three fiddles. 2016 saw the release of their eagerly awaited second album, “Deliverance”, follow up to their eponymous entitled debut album released in September 2011 to great critical acclaim. “On the evidence to hand, pure fiddle doesn’t get much better than The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc” - Folkworld. www.thenordicfiddlersbloc.com This series is produced and filmed by the Folklife Center at Crandall Public Library and funded in part by the Friends of Crandall Public Library and the New York State Council on the Arts-Folk Arts Program supported by Governor Andrew Cuomo and the NYS Legislature. #IamCrandall #125Years
