Väsen

Väsen-Duo, Mikael Marin and Olov Johansson have, after 37 years of interaction and touring, refined their sound and their stage presence to the extent that today they are unique in their kind. With their playful and perfect interplay, they seem to defy the laws of physics in what appears to be a telepathic communication.

Väsen will perform at the beautiful Sacred Heart altar stage at 7:30 pm, Thursday, Sept. 19.

The music is intense and full of humour. They create their very own musical language which in its appeal is as modern as it is ancient. With the foundation firmly rooted in the traditional music of Uppland, they have always looked curiously at new musical goals.

Olov & Micke have played together since 1983 when they met at Oktoberstämman in Uppsala and discovered that they had a large common repertoire and a similar way of playing. They have recorded and released more than 20 albums. Melliken was released in 2023. A collaboration with Hawktail is due this fall.

Duluth-based Ponyfolk will open.

Advance tickets will be available at 10 am Friday, Aug. 2 for $20 on Eventbrite. Advance paper tickets will be available for $20 at Globe News in Superior and Zenith Bookstore in West Duluth. Tickets will be available for $25 at the door while supply lasts. Doors at 6:30. Music at 7:30.
