Colorado-based musician Nicolette Andres joined KGNU to share live performances and insights into the rare tradition of Hardanger fiddle music from southwestern Norway. She discussed the instrument’s unique features, the foot-tapping rhythm essential for dancers, and her new album Hands, recorded in Boulder with support from the Alex Wilson Legacy Fund. Nicolette also spoke about the value of preserving folk traditions and how listeners can find her music on Bandcamp, at Paradise Found, and via nicoletteandres.com. (Local Gold: 4/30/25)
