The well-known Danish traditional musicians Jensen & Bugge return to the Danish Windmill stage on Wednesday, June 12th, at 7-p.m. Mette Jensen and Kristian Bugge come from South of Vejle, Denmark and they will be performing with master button box accordion player Dwight Lamb of Onawa, Iowa.

It will be a lively evening of long lost Danish Folk Music that Dwight Lamb had learned from his grandfather who had immigrated to the US in the late 1800’s and his great grandfather. Dwight plays traditional Danish music on his button accordion that he learned from his grandfather who emigrated from Denmark more than a hundred years ago.  Jensen & Bugge are enthusiastic and experienced dance musicians and have played at numerous dances, workshops and concerts in Denmark, Scandinavia and the rest of the world.  In 2011 their 10th Anniversary was celebrated with a number of concerts in Denmark and abroad and by several CD releases.

The 165 year old Danish Windmill in Elk Horn, Iowa, is located 6 miles North off I-80, exit 54 in the Danish community of Elk Horn Iowa. Bring a blanket or a lawn chair and dress for the weather. A Danish Hot Dog meal will be for sale at the concert and a free will donation will be taken for the concert to help offset the costs.
