Frigg is a multitalented Finnish-Norwegian seven-piece ensemble that produces fresh Scandinavian folk fiddling accompanied by fretted instruments, upright bass and endless energy. The style they represent is a mixture of Kaustinen (Finland) and Nord-Trondelag (Norway) traditions flavored with a taste of Americana and Irish folk music.

Frigg has been chosen as "The Band of the Year" 2003 of Kaustinen Folk Music Festival.

"...Frigg banishes the darkness with a series of bright, smiling instrumentals." —Michael Toland, High Bias
