ABOUT DREAMERS’ CIRCUS
The ambitiously inventive Nordic trio Dreamers’ Circus are one of the most talked about acts in the acoustic realm right now. They mine their backgrounds in traditional and roots music to present a genre-bending amalgam of folk sensitivity, jazz-tinged improvisation, and classical complexity distilled through an openness to popular music influences. Dreamers’ Circus displays virtuosic and incendiary musical ability across a range of instruments that includes fiddle, accordion, piano, and cittern, and with a resolutely contemporary approach, they have taken the new Nordic music scene by storm.
