Mikkel Nordsø is a Danish guitar legend. In addition to playing in his own band Mikkel Nordsø Band, he has also played, performed and/or recorded with notabilities such as Palle Mikkelborg, Terri Lyne Carrington, George Duke, David Sanborn, Lisa Nilsson and many others. Violinist Bjarke Falgren is a musical mastermind on the violin. He is a fourfold Grammy Award winner and one of Denmark's best and most recognized violin virtuosos. Falgren has released 11 albums, worked on TV and theatre projects, and worked with the likes of Mads Mathias, Mathias Heise, Jacob Fischer and many others. Mathias Heise is one of the world's leading harmonica players, having won the Chromatic Harmonica World Championship in 2013.
