Subject: RE: Applying for festivals, Skarpi is asking
There is a record label in Minnesota
where many immigrants from Scandinavia and Nordic countries landed.
North Side Records presents a Nordic Music Fest each fall.

see www.noside.com

they are also associated with these record labels
http://www.e-s-d.com/index.html East Side digital

http://www.omniumrecords.com/index.html

the festival may feature artists who record on their label..
so maybe the first step is to do a recording with them??

you may want to search for festivals which focus on
Nordic/Scadinavian music such as : (see nordic music festival)
www.nisswastamman.org/

Ask Bruce Sagan, who i introduced you to..
he has started a list on the internet
for Scandinavian topics...groups.yahoo.com/group/scand/


or look for World music festivals, ones which feature music
from all ethnic backgrounds...such as:
www.worldfest.net
http://www.sfworldmusicfestival.org/
or this one going on this weekend...connected with a university
http://www.chicoperformances.com/
http://www.csuchico.edu/upe/performance/cwmf.html
the organizer of this event is Dan Dewayne, and he has
booked a Swedish group that I have recommended/requested.
You might ask him for advice...his e-mail address is listed
in the Chico State University site..www.chicoperformances.com.

good luck and let us know if you get hired!
