The Avant Folk album has already gained a lot of attention, read some of the reviews here

Frode Haltli ‘Avant Folk’ is an all-star cast of Norwegian musicians spanning all ages, generations and genres, a elaboration of Frode Haltli’s work somewhere in the twilight zone between jazz, contemporary and folk music.

To mark the release of Frode Haltli ‘Avant Folk’ (Hubro) in April 2018, the 10-piece band featuring some of Norway’s finest musician from improvisation and folk will perform in Oslo and Bergen

Performances of Frode Haltli’s ‘The Border Woods’ in Knoxville, Chicago and Cleveland in March
