EMIGRATION SONGS with Andreas Tophoej, violin and Sigurd Hockings, guitar. Andreas Tophoej has toured USA, Scandinavia, Scotland, Germany, Italy and Denmark. He performs with the groups Basco, Hush and Zar and with a number of projects, events and recordings. Andreas holds a Master's degree in music from The Conservatory of Music in Odense, Denmark and from Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA. Sigurd Hockings is one of the most virtuoso and versatile folk-guitarists in Denmark. He found his inspiration for his playing in the Celtic areas of the world, as well as in Denmark. In Emigration-songs Kristin Lomholt, Andreas Tophoej and Sigurd Hockings went back to a collection of great songs that describe the story of the European immigrants that went overseas to the American east coast during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The music is entertaining, breath-taking while the three musicians are deeply connected to the folk-tone of these old songs.
