By Arendal dialekt- og mållag

Join an intimate live concert in Bakgården, Arendal, as Resjemheia takes the stage on June 11 at 20:00. Led by Mattis Kleppen on electric bass and Ottar Kåsa on Hardanger fiddle, the group presents a distinctive mix of original compositions and traditional tunes from Telemark, West Africa, and Mississippi.
