Scandium Performs Twice this Thursday
Scandium, a contemporary folk group with Scandinavian and American roots, will perform at the Contented Cow in downtown Northfield on Thursday, Oct. 16th, from 8 - 10 p.m. The performance at the Cow will follow a 5:30 appearance that day at the "Harvest" sculpture dedication on Northfield's newly built sesquicentennial plaza.
Scandium members Amy Boxrud (vocals, fiddle), Les LaCroix (guitar, vocals), Glenn Lee (accordion), Gordon Oschwald (bass) and Ruth Anne Rasmusson (fiddle) met at weekly Nordic jam sessions at the Contented Cow in Northfield. The musicians formed Scandium in the fall of 2006, in a desire to explore contemporary Scandinavian folk music in a smaller group setting. Scandium often begins with a Nordic folk tune—sometimes old, sometimes new—but soon find themselves "coloring outside the lines," allowing other folk influences to infuse their arrangements.
