The dance will begin with a performance by Kaivama, the Minneapolis duo featuring Ishpeming native Jonathan Rundman. The duo, which also features fiddler Sara Pajanen, is considered one of the most popular and cutting edge Finnish music groups in the United States. They have been touring the U.S. for nearly two years and have played for thousands of people, including featured performances at this year’s Finn Fest USA in Tucson, Arizona.
They will be followed by one of the U.P.’s most respected and loved music groups, White Water. For over two three decades, White Water has performed at concerts, festivals, and dances all year round. White Water is known for its musicianship, four-part harmony vocals, and endearing stage presence. In addition to traditional and contemporary folk music, White Water has a large repertoire of dance music and teaches folk dancing to audience members of all ages.
