Back to the Country: Finnish Country Music Extravaganza
Feb 10, 2021 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Music
With Nate Gibson
Various hosts share this time slot now, including Bill Malone and all are carrying on the tradition of Back to the Country. The 1st week of the month it's Steven & Marianne, the 2nd week is Nate Gibson, the 3rd week is hosted by Art Stevenson and Bill & Bobbie are back on the 4th Wednesday of every month. With themes such as politics, work, home or around the music of a particular person, these hosts put an emphasis on “classic” and “alternative” country music – what you can’t hear on Top 40 radio.
Finnish Country Music Extravaganza
Ever wonder what country music sounds like in the happiest country in the world (according to the United Nations’ World Happiness Report three years in a row)? Well, for tomorrow’s installment of Back to the Country I’ll be hosting a toe-tapping, three-hour Finnish country music extravaganza so you can finally answer that very question.
I collect Finnish country music records, lived in Finland for about a year and a half, wrote my dissertation about American roots music in Finland, and am still working with a lot of Finnish-American musicians here in the Upper Midwest as part of my work at the University of Wisconsin.
From 9-11:00am CST I’ll be playing some of my favorite Finnish kantrimusiikki gems and from 11am-noon I’ll be joined by Grammy-nominated UW-Madison Folklore and Scandinavian Studies Professor Emeritus, Jim Leary. We’ll share some of our favorite Finnish-American music made right here in the Upper Midwest as well as details about our ongoing Sustaining Scandinavian Folk Arts in the Upper Midwest project, the Local Centers/Global Sounds digital collection, and our 2021 FinnFest USA Virtual Events. Tune in to WORT 89.9 FM from 9am-noon (CST) if in Southern Wisconsin or stream it from anywhere via wortfm.org. Nähdään siellä!
