Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering: Everyone—welcome Jam 6:45pm, Open Stage 7:30pm, Feature Performers Tania Opland & Mike Freeman 9pm; Norway House, 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash at the doorHammered dulcimer, guitar, violin, cittern, Native-American flute, and percussion along with songs in many languages and rhythmic roots from Siberia to Morocco, this Anglo-Alaskan duo has been bringing their exuberant music and wild tales to audiences around the world since 1995!
Mike Freeman's roots are in Eastern Europe, with grandparents from Russia, Roumania and Hungary. His main instrument is the Gambian djembe, from which he draws an amazing variety of sounds, but he also plays everything from dholak and darabouka to bones, bodhran, and congas, and composes tunes on guitar and mandolin, as well.
Originally from Alaska, Tania Opland has travelled extensively in the U.S., Canada, Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Britain. From early classical training on piano, cello and violin, Tania moved on to explore many different fiddle styles, a wide range of wind instruments, even experimenting with such exotic instruments as chang, gidjak, doira, and the hurdy gurdy, creating a style rich in techniques and traditions!
