The first set of artists confirmed to appear at this year's Nordic Roots Festival in Minneapolis has been confirmed and it's a beauty: Garmarna, Hoven Droven, Triakel, Hurdy Gurdy (with Stefan Brisland-Ferner of Garmarna and Totte Mattsson of Hedningarna), Gåte, Frigg and Ellika & Solo. The event is scheduled to take place September 30 through October 2 and more details such as ticket information will be coming soon. Hopefully Gåte will do some other US dates as well.
