With one foot planted in the Swedish fiddle tradition and the other in new acoustic music, Sweden’s folk supergroup Väsen (Olov Johansson, the fabled master of the nyckelharpa; Mikael Marin on viola; and guitarist Roger Tallroth) have created their own territory between classical, folk, and pop.

Starting in Idaho, visiting Wyoming, Colorado, later Freight and Salvage in Berkeley, Calif. (http://www.thefreight.org/) and ending with a concert at the Seattle Town Hall on March 20, http://www.townhallseattle.org
