Kristian Bugge & WB Reid in Concert
May 31 | 7:00pm | Doors open 6:30pm
Tickets $20 in advance; $25 at the door
Kristian Bugge & WB Reid – transatlantic duo of fiddle and guitar. Despite growing up and living on each their side of the Atlantic Ocean, WB Reid and Kristian Bugge have known of and followed each other’s music for years while they’ve met at jam sessions and festivals around the Pacific Northwest. For the first time in the fall of 2025, they played together on stage and that was a lot of fun! After that the idea came up to go on the road together, so right now the first tour is in the
making for the spring of 2026 and excitements are running high!
The program will focus on tunes from the rich, Danish fiddle repertoire, spiced up with a few songs in Danish and English. Expect everything from wild polkas and groovy jigs to lyrical waltzes, fiery reels and happy hopsas. Plus the exotic “Sønderhoning” dance tunes from the famous, Danish Island of Fanø. An unforgettable live experience with humor and stories from their many years on the road!

Do you or someone you know want to get out on the dance floor, but fear having “two left feet”? Ready for a refresher on dances you started learning a while ago? Want to encourage others in becoming more comfortable with dances you already know and love?
Join us on Saturday afternoon, June 6 at the Wakefield Schoolhouse! Greg Winz will take us through Scandinavian style waltz, polka, and schottische variations, adjusting the instruction level to meet the needs of the group. Depending on interest and time, Greg may also include an introduction to Norwegian Røros Pols and/or Swedish polska turns.
Come learn and dance to live music on a beautiful floor in a lovely, intimate space. Bring a friend or two. No partner required.
Suggested donation is $10-$20.
Plan to stay for the evening’s Schoolhouse Social (which begins at 6:00; see more HERE), and try out your new/refreshed dance steps on a friendly dance floor!
NOTE: Farwell Hall facilities will NOT be available on June 6, due to a wedding rental. Please come only to the Schoolhouse site, 3157 County Road BB.
