Wardruna

Norwegian music collective Wardruna is dedicated to creating musical renditions of ancient Norse and Nordic traditions. Einar Selvik, Lindy-Fay Hella, and the rest of the group create something new through something old, utilizing the past to craft their contemporary, authentic, and unique sound. Instruments and wisdom from ancient times, coupled with modern day soundscapes and recorded sounds of nature, provide a rare opportunity to tell us something valuable about ourselves. It works as a reminder that we are part of nature, not above it, and it offers a way of remembering, not for memory's own sake, but to gain both new and forgotten insight. 

In January 2025, Wardruna released Birna, their sixth studio album. The title, which translates to "she-bear" in Old Norse honors the warden of the forest, nature's caretaker, and her battles here on earth. The album unravels the long and entangled history of the relationship between man and bear and contemplating the present state of how we humans relate to the wild in general.

They will be joined by special guest Chelsea Wolf.
