Dominions musicians on tour in USA

[ceremony]

I just got an email that said:

Nov. 6, 2006 - For immediate release

Experience first-class Nordic roots music with two of Sweden's finest folk
musicians! It's soon that time of the year again - namely when Swedish folk
music duo "Dråm" returns to the US West Coast for their fourth annual tour.
The duo will give concerts, perform at Christmas and Lucia celebrations,
play for dance evenings and hold workshops as well as appear on TV and
radio - it all makes for a hectic tour schedule this year. However they will
soon return; the next tour is planned for February 2007 and will take Dråm
back to California but also to Arizona and Hawaii.

Since the beginning, Dråm has gained international reputation as guardians
and renewers of the rich treasure trove of Swedish traditional music.
Musicians Erik Ask-Upmark and Anna Rynefors are both riksspelmän ("Official
Master Musicians of the Realm") and combine ancient instruments to create
new sophisticated, enticing sounds centered around the traditional and
unique Swedish instrument Nyckelharpa together with the Celtic folk harp.
Swedish and medieval bagpipes provide the endless drone - or "dråm" from
which the duo gets its name...

Press voices about Dråm's CD:

"Expertly played... lovely melodies showing traditional and medieval
overtones." - Dirty Linen

"This album sits so poignantly and memorably with its listeners largely due
to the distinct and plaintive, haunting quality of both the nyckelharpa and
the bagpipes, lending a yearning, desiring quality to the music. However,
all analysis aside, this is simply a heartfelt, moving album." - CDBaby.com

"Through their energetic yet lyrical playing, Anna Rynefors and Erik
Ask-Upmark prove that they are thoroughbred musicians in complete control of
their instruments. Their CD is quite traditional and modern at the same
time, completely enchanting to the listener." - Online Music Magazine
