Väsen is a Swedish “folk revival” band that has been playing together for over 25 years and has been dubbed “the best band in the world” by music critics and listeners alike. Although inspired by, and firmly rooted in traditional Swedish folk music, Väsen adds to the genre with distinct harmonies and rhythms. The band features Olov Johansson on nyckelharpa, the national instrument of Sweden, Mikael Marin on 5-string viola, and Roger Tallroth on 12-string guitar (tuned A-D-A-D-A-D). Väsen in Swedish has multiple meanings: spirit, noise, a living being, and essence, being the most prominent. The CFS is proud to present Väsen as they bring spirit and a great harmonious noise to Corvallis for a concert on July 18th at 7 p.m. at the intimate surroundings and impeccable acoustics of the 1st Presbyterian Church, 114 SW 8th St.
