Praise for Åkervinda
'I am spellbound by these four gorgeous voices breathing as one, telling stories that transcend language barriers. Their arrangements are invigorating, inspiring and grounded in a deep understanding of folk traditions.' - The Swingles
'Åkervinda simply blew the canvas off of the tent at the Nest's Stage at Shambala Festival. It was wonderful to see 500 hedonism seeking festival goers stop in their tracks sit and listen to these ancient songs sung with such power and energy. A memorable experience for all!' - The Nest Collective
'Åkervinda... Ethereal, magical, folky in a spot on 'serious musicians here' kind of way. There were no rough edges to this warmup act; only tight harmonies and an upfront execution of some stunningly difficult folk tune arrangements. This quartet of women had the audience literally begging for more.' - Vocal Australia, London A Cappella Festival
'It is wonderful to hear pure voice-so ancient, so eternal, so moving. Their voices and songs resonated with everyone.'- Norwegian American Weekly, Brooklyn
