Stinnerbom Stinnerbom Dubé med Bruce Molsky & Darol Anger(SE/US)

Stinnerbom Stinnerbom Dubé consists of Värmland’s Sophia Stinnerbom on violins and Magnus Stinnerbom on guitars, together with Canadian double bassist Sébastien Dubé. This brilliant trio, with many years of collaboration and roots in folk music, combines an openness to the unexpected and playful elements that captivate the audience. This evening, they are joined by Bruce Molsky and Darol Anger, two legends from the American folk music scene, renowned for their contributions to old-time and bluegrass music. Their music embodies not only a primal force, a driving energy, and a powerful groove but also great sensitivity, combined with distinct folk musical foundations.
