Two concerts as part of the festival Nordischer Klang 2023, all about folk & swing.
Jeffrey's Reverie
The US-American exile songwriter, string instrumentalist and ambassador of American folk music Jeff Wasserman has been living in Norway for a long time. Under the name Jeffrey's Reverie, he has gathered a spirited band of international acoustic multi-instrumentalists who interpret his songs and fiddle tunes in the most diverse folk styles of the USA.
The concert of Jeffrey`s Reverie can be read about on the Norwegian music blog Dust of Daylight: "The audience was rewarded with stunning musicianship, individual performances by everyone on stage, strong lyrics and in short one of the best concerts I have seen in many, many years. I can only recommend going to any stage where Jeffrey's Reverie performs. You will have to search a long time for such musicality, joy of playing and not least such a repertoire in this country."Jeffrey Wasserman is joined on stage by Gideon Andersson, Michael Barret Donovan, Terje Kinn and Hanne Mari Karlsen.
