BREAKING NEWS!!!
Modtager af Den Danske Folkemusikpris 2025
Christine Dueholm og Perry Stenbäck er modtagere af Den Danske Folkemusikpris 2025. Prisen overrækkes lørdag d. 5. juli om eftermiddagen i forbindelse med årets ”Festival Session” i Skagen Kultur- og Fritidscenter. Forud for overrækkelsen kan man høre Perry og Christine, når de optræder med deres band, Perry Stenbäck & Dekadans på Skagen Festival henholdsvis torsdag d. 3. juli (Havnescenen) og fredag d. 4. juli (Torvescenen).
Perry og Christine modtager prisen fordi: Gennem næsten 30 år har det dansk/svenske ægtepar Christine Dueholm og Perry Stenbäck kørt parløb, både privat og i musikken og de har støt og roligt opbygget en blomstrende karriere med deres to fælles bands: ”Bragr” og ”Dekadans”, som nu har et kraftigt voksende publikum, både i Danmark og i udlandet.
Mange i dansk og nordisk musikliv har nydt godt af deres akkompagnement, Perry på guitar, elguitar og nyckelharpe, Christine bag trommerne. De har spillet med de kendte, de gode gamle, de ukendte, og de helt nye – de er begge med for musikkens skyld, og de gør ingen forskel på konge og knægt.
Christine og Perry er ypperlige repræsentanter for den danske og skandinaviske folkemusik- og visetradition. Blandt andet spiller de hvert år et meget stort antal skolekoncerter, og giver dermed en hel, ny generation det første møde med traditionel musik og rigtige, akustiske instrumenter.
Både Christine og Perry skriver desuden selv ny musik, og bidrager dermed også kreativt til den store, fælles pulje, som er folkemusikkens drivkraft…

Bragr
The sound of Scandinavia
Our name derrives from ”Brage”. In Nordic mythology, he was known as the God of music and poetry. That’s what’s important for us; Story telling and musical emotions.
Our ambition is to move people, both emotionally and physically. We want to show people attending our concerts, that this genre isn’t just ”a tonal museum” , but, on the contrary, a lively, vibrant mix of beautiful melodies and ”acoustic heavy metal” from 17’th and 18’th century. On top of that, we also bring in our own compositions, written in the traditional styles.
