Gammalgrass

”Gammaldans” is an old traditional folk dance/music that has surprisingly a lot in common with traditional American bluegrass. The music is based on much of the same harmony and rhythm, but why is there so little improvisation in gammaldans? This is what Gammalgrass is determined to find out Wednesday night at Chrisitans Kjeller. Good mood and relaxed atmosphere combined with virtuosic interplay characterizes a concert with Gammalgrass. With multi-instumentalist Stian Carstensen spearheading a band consisting of the brilliant jazz musicians Ole Morten Vågan and Ola Kvernberg, this is going to be a whirlwind of a concert!

Ola Kvernberg – violin, Stian Carstensen – accordion, Ole Morten Vågan – contrabass
