Jam weekend of Old-time music. Hans will give a guitar backup workshop
Feleboga plays and sings old-time music from the Appalachian mountains - haunting and archaic songs about the hard life in the mountains and mines, old ballads, shape note hymns, and toe-tapping fiddle tunes.
Elizabeth Gaver - fiddle, dulcimer & vocals
Hans-Hinrich Thedens - guitar, banjo & vocals
Alix Cordray - bass, washboard & dance
Feleboga has become one of the prominent old-time bands in Europe, performing at festivals in Germany, Iceland, Norway, England, Italy, Sweden and France. We have perfomed in concerts and played for and led many dances and given workshops in fiddle, song, guitar and southern Appalachian dancing.
We are three Americans and one German living in Oslo, Norway. We delve into old source recordings as well as playing tunes we learned from friends and at festivals. During the Covid pandemic Feleboga broadcast a series of weekly live streamed “Coffee Break” concerts. These 52 half-hour sets reached friends in Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Australia, and throughout the US. Feleboga recorded their CD “Coffee Break” in spring 2021, as a memory of the time spent together between lockdowns, quarantines and re-openings.
History:
Feleboga ("fiddle bows") was started as a family band by Hans-Hinrich, Elizabeth, and their son, Mattias. Our family lived in Tennessee for six months, immersed in the local music and culture. For many summers, we returned to the Appalachian area, taking part in music workshops and festivals, playing with friends, and always coming home with new tunes and songs. As a full string band we recorded the CD “Tugboat to Hamburg”.

Countrymusikk er en sjanger dypt forankret i den amerikanske folkesjelen, som vokste ut av de rike musikktradisjonene i europeiske og afroamerikanske samfunn på landsbygda i sørstatene i USA. "The Stars of Early Country Music" hedrer pionerene som har banet vei for dagens moderne countrystjerner og hyller artistene som la grunnlaget for det mangfoldige uttrykket som vi gleder oss over i dagens countrymusikk. Bli med Sweetheart, Steinar Albrigtsen, Jeff Wasserman, Michael Barrett Donovan, Benny RG Lee og Felaboga når de holder pionerenes ånd i live med musikken som fortsetter å begeistre fans over hele verden!
