Join us Sunday, October 4th for Hotdish and Hotrods from 11:30am to 1:00pm hosted by the Sons of Norway Valheim Lodge of Spring Grove, MN. There will be hotdishes to taste, hotrods to view and music by Beth Rotto & friends starting at noon to listen to.
About the band:
Art Bjorngjeld and Ross Sutter bring decades of experience between them on accordion, guitar, & voice. Art draws on his Norwegian heritage — his ancestors played for dances all across North Dakota and Minnesota — while Ross’s repertoire carries the soul of church music and community gatherings. Together, they mix old family tunes with new finds from their folk-music adventures.
And now, two more join the mix: Ann Streufert and Beth Hoven Rotto from Decorah, Iowa, long associated with the folk bands Foot-Notes and Maritza, have been twin-fiddling for nearly 40 years — just for the love of it. Their setlist is made for both dancers and listeners, featuring Scandinavian melodies and rediscovered Midwest classics.
When these two duos come together, sparks fly: the warm camaraderie and shared passion will make for an unforgettable evening of traditional music and dance. Expect a celebration — it will be a dance party rooted in tradition, friendship and joy.
