SUMMARY:Fin-A-Billy: American Roots Music and Rebellion in Finland
DESCRIPTION:March 26th\, 2022\nSaturday starting at 11:00 am\nVirtual \nSo far in our Music Series\, we have explored the process in which many Finnish-Americans have connected with Finnish language and culture through music. But during the 1970s\, there was an enormous American roots music boom in Finland\, spawning hundreds of Fin-A-Billy (Finnish rockabilly\, country\, bluegrass\, blues\, and related genres) bands with thousands of fans. In our March continuation of the FinnFest USA Music Series\, folklorist and ethnomusicologist Nathan Gibson will share his research and musical samples of the ways many Finns have connected with American culture through American roots music over the last 60 years. \nNathan Gibson is a folklorist\, ethnomusicologist\, musician\, and the Audio-Visual Preservation Archivist for the University of Wisconsin-Madison. At UW-Madison\, Nate runs the audio preservation studio at Mills Music Library and works with Anna Rue and Marcus Cederström on the “Sustaining Scandinavian Folk Arts in the Upper Midwest” and “Nordic Folklife” projects. Nathan was a guest researcher at Tampere University between 2012 and 2013\, during which time he was researching his dissertation on American Roots Music in Finland and both touring and recording with several Fin-A-Billy bands. He has visited more than 50 cities in Finland\, can sing at least two songs in Finnish\, is a big fan of Eero Aarnio’s ball chair\, but is still not a fan of salmiakki. \nFor information and to register\, click here.    \nAll lectures are free\, but the participants are encouraged to support FinnFest USA with a donation.

SUMMARY:First Annual National Sauna Week
DESCRIPTION:Sauna is the most known Finnish word in the U.S.\, within and outside of the Finnish-American community.\nFinlandia Foundation has declared the last week of February “National Sauna Week”\, to build awareness and appreciation of this aspect of Finnish and Finnish-American culture\, with activities\, online programming and a wealth of information. While many people have experienced sauna at hotels\, spas and gyms\, in the time of COVID-19\, home saunas have become popular additions. Finlandia Foundation National believes that saunas need to be celebrated! \nThe very first National Sauna Week will build awareness and appreciation of this aspect of Finnish and Finnish-American culture. Finlandia Foundation National is developing a week full of information about the history\, types\, and benefits of sauna; fun facts\, games\, quizzes\, etc.; links to sauna resources; and a week-long social media campaign with sauna info tips\, photos\, songs\, and fun facts\, and importantly\, how to pronounce “sauna.” \nGo to FinlandiaFoundation.org for information and details. Watch for local activities and programs on the FinnSource calendar and on the FACA FB page. \nYOU CAN HELP the North American Sauna Society with a brief questionnaire to learn about sauna habits and identify quality public saunas across the U.S. and Canada.
