Dreamers' Circus

Dreamers’ Circus is one of the most acclaimed and adventurous acoustic bands from the Nordic region. This Middlebury favorite seamlessly blends Nordic folk with classical lyricism, jazz improvisation, and pop energy, creating a sound that is both rooted in tradition and forward-looking. The trio’s latest album, “Handed On,” reflects on their musical heritage, while their dynamic live shows showcase the playful joy and precision that define their unique sound.
