Nordic Music Featured at Saturday's Riverwalk Market Fair

The group Multe entertained residents who attended this past weekend's edition of the weekly art fair in Bridge Square.

Residents attending Saturday’s Riverwalk Market Fair in Bridge Square probably were tapping their toes or strolling to the traditional Nordic music performed in the midst of the artisan tents.

Multe was the featured musical performers at the weekly arts fair.

The musicians played a variety of Nordic and Scandinavian music during their morning set.

Here’s what the Riverwalk Market Fair’s Teresa Tilson writes about Multe:

With a name like Bjork (Norwegian meaning “birch”) one can see why Jon Bjork plays Nordic traditional music.  Jon’s first instrument was guitar, which he still plays in several bands.  Accordion is his instrument of choice for the Scandinavian and Nordic Traditional music played by Multe.  The band takes its name from the Scandinavian root word for “cloudberry,” the rare slow-growing sub-arctic bramble fruit found throughout the Nordic countries.  Joining Jon on Saturday will be Multe members Glenn Lee, Bruce Jensen, Doug Wornson, and Jerry Johnson.
