• Jorun Marie Kvernberg is one of Norway’s leading fiddle & Hardanger fiddle players, and plays in the groups Majorstuen and Tindra. This is her first solo album, on which she plays traditional dance tunes and ballads, mainly from the northwest of Norway.

• She is a technically assured player, with a strong emotional style and a vivacious onstage personality.

• This album was nominated for two Norwegian Folk Music Awards in 2007, and Kvernberg was one of the finalists in the Norwegian Concert Institute’s programme for launching new folk music artists, Intro-folk, in 2007. In 2005 she won the Norwegian Performing Rights Society’s Edvard Prize for a commissioned work.
