Tourterelle Restaurant & Inn

Epic Little Folk Fest is a one-night-only opportunity to dance & swoon your evening away to the music of Moira Smiley & epic nordic folk group, SVER in the Tourterelle barn. Fill your bellies at the food truck, and wear your dancing shoes!
This international partnership takes new & traditional fiddle-driven tunes from Scandinavia and melds them with wild, lonesome, and original songs. Smileys plaintive, powerful voice weaves between the fiery, inventive forces of SVERs fiddles, accordion, guitar and drums.
Start the evening with performances by Nate Gusakov & musicians from Young Tradition Vermont, and let Moira Smiley + SVER sing you home!

In 2018 she released her latest solo album and choral songbook, Unzip The Horizon.
"SVER has an enviable reputation for being one of the best live bands on the circuit." - Fiona Talkington, Songlines
SVER has often been described as sounding electric without electricity, and their flexible musicianship has also made them an attractive backing band for some of Scandinavia's leading singers in different genres. That has lead to them playing on TV-shows, at large festivals, as well as securing positions on radio charts with the music ranging from folk to reggae/dancehall and rap. Their imaginative soundscapes, grooves, and melodies will take you on a journey over the Norwegian fjords and mountains, into the lively pubs and back out into the deep forest of their musicality.
