Ævestaden was first played on NTS on 27 January 2026. Songs played include Ganglåt Bortåt.

Ævestaden is a Norwegian folk trio combining fiddle, jaw harp, lyres, kantele, cow horn and live electronics with rich vocal harmonies. Their music is inspired by old Nordic traditions but shaped through new arrangements and experimental soundscapes.

By blending acoustic instruments and voices with subtle electronics, Ævestaden creates a sound that is both rooted and contemporary. This approach has brought the group recognition through awards, strong reviews and concerts in Norway and abroad.

-”Neither pop nor jazz. Only modern, good and exciting folk music.” - Arild Rønsen (PULS)
