Tindra consists of:
Åshild Vetrhus - vocal
Jorun Marie Kvernberg - fiddles
Irene Tillung - accordion

Tindra plays both traditional music as well as their own compositions based on Norwegian traditional music. Their musical language is original and colourful. Sweet, soft and tender Ð passionate, rough and energetic. The musicians in Tindra have a great enthusiasm for and understanding of the traditional music, which is the foundation for their musical style. On stage the musicians presents their music with charm and give convincing performances.

Subtle, fresh and sonorous:

"The three young women of Tindra provide innovative renditions of the tunes of their ancestors, as well as crafting their own songs, powered by strong West Norwegian traditions and a clear view of modern musical styles. Listen to the words of Petter Dass, Ragnar Hovland and �shild's grandmother! It's no ordinary, everyday occurrence for the big thrush to fall in love, or for all things to perish. At least not in settings as tuneful as these."

- Gabriel Fliflet

Written about "Lukkeleg vaking":

• "Sophisticated and energetic!" Gabriel Fliflet
• "Natural authority" Helge Olsen, Bergens Tidende
• " This trio of women is rooted in traditional Norwegian folklore, but their performance is so much more. Without resorting to much more than the basic trio of voices, accordion and fiddle, with minimal vocal contributions from Aasmund Nordstoga and from Gabriel Fliflet, whose influence is clear in the playful and surprising approach they take to the simplest of arrangements - the accordion occasionally sputters cleverly, the fiddle moves from sweet to menacing and the voices turn from airy to earthy on the turn of a dime. Far from 'experimental,' these changes are natural, personal touches one should expect from folk music. This is a remarkable debut for a unique Norwegian trio. Highly recommended!"
