Growing up in the midst of hardrock bands makes you take to traditional music differently! Flashy sounds, big beats and original arrangements of traditional material… in short: Nú Trad!
It is in this sense that Sebastian Zimmermann (vocals, fiddle), Alex Otto (accordion), Thomas Gurke (guitar) and Christoph Zimmermann (percussion) [unfortunately Christoph will not be present at the Dubliner] approach the music from global Celtic regions such as the Balkans, Brittany, Ireland or Galicia in live vibrant sets and modern arrangements, using metal riffs or house-beats and thereby creating a unique blend of folk music to make the crowd dance! Thus, their two albums “Nú Trad” (2017) and “In Your High Honour” (2020) were also largely recorded in live-sessions. Check out more on our website at: drowsymaggie.de

Ceili dancing is already popular at The Pub on Wednesday nights, but we hope to revitalize Set Dancing in the Twin Cities, starting with bi-weekly Monday night events. If you already set dance, this should be a welcome revival. If you want to learn or are just curious, come give it a try.
