| Laura Marek |
| Lauramari is an artist with a rich background and affinity for
languages that make her a very
dynamic performer. Although she was born and raised in a small town
in PA, her Finnish
heritage, good command of the Finnish language and experience of
living in Finland for several years,
have made her about as Finnish as one can get.
Being raised by musical parents left her no choice other than to pick
up an instrument or two and start singing since before
she could even talk. Her love of Finnish music, particularly
Värttinä, started with a little trip to a
Scandinavian specialty store, Viking Village, about 10 years ago,
where she bought her first Värttinä album. Once she heard their
music, she was hooked. It was during this time she knew that she
wanted to perform songs like these at Scanfest. |

| Vinland Longships |
| Vinland Longships is a Viking reenactment group that owns a 22 foot Viking Faering (four oared) boat. The Skogar Þrostur (SKO-gar THROW-stur) which means "Blackbird" in Old Norse, is based on the faering boat buried with the Gokstad ship in Norway in the 9th century. The reenactors who founded Vinland Longships have organized educational demonstrations on Viking ships and Viking life, crafts and culture for the Smithsonial Museum of Natural History, the Norwegian Embassy and the American Swedish Museum, among many others. They taught docents at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and have travelled to L'Anse aux Meadows, Canada, St. Petersberg, Russia and up and down the east coast educating people about Viking ship construction, navigation and history. The Adventures of the Skogar Þrostur are documented at http://vinlandlongship.livejournal.com/. |
