A conversation with Petri Prauda and Esko Järvelä of Frigg

Northern Michigan University will host the Finnish folk fusion group Frigg at the Reynolds Recital Hall as part of the Winter Roots Festival, and we had an opportunity to speak with Frigg’s Petri Prauda (mandolin, cittern, & bagpipes) and Esko Järvelä (violin, accordion, piano) in studio on the day of their show.

Listen to Kurt Hauswirth's interview with Petri and Esko here:

Kurt lives in Marquette with his family and can’t imagine living anywhere else. He loves music, games, jogging, being near water, and a fine cold brew coffee.
