RUSK was a Norwegian folk music trio from 1999 until 2007. They started playing traditional music from the areas of Solør and Finnskogen[1], but also included original music from other areas of Norway and Sweden.
History
[edit]Their first appearance was at a local CD compilation, 'Der skogen står fredfull'.[2]
From 2000 until 2007 they did several tours in Norway and played Haukeliseterfestivalen, the Elverum Festival, Skei-treffen[3] and the Farsund Folk Festival.[4] They also did three big school concert tours for Rikskonsertene in Norway: The entire Hedmark county in 2000, in sami areas in Finnmark, Northern Norway and in Spitsbergen in 2005. They also played a few concerts in Sweden, Germany and at the Viljandi Folk Music Festival in Estonia in 2003.[5]
Their first self-intitled album was produced by Mikael Marin from the Swedish band Väsen.[6] Both albums got several positive reviews in Norwegian and foreign press,[7][8][9][10][11][12], and their two albums have been played by the Norwegian Broadcasting[13] and BBC Radio.[14]
