“Himmerland” is a new Danish band inspired by the exciting and very diverse cultures of 5 experienced musicians living in Denmark.
Himmerland is the area between Mariager Fjord and Limfjorden in the north of Jutland, the main peninsula of Denmark. Here we have all come together on several occasions over the past 10- 15 years, and that's why we call the band “Himmerland”.
Himmerland has been performing at venues and festivals in countries like Denmark, Faroe Islands, Italy, Hungary and Bulgary, and during the next year or so, Himmerland has scheduled concerts in a number of countries on four continents.
These video clips was recorded Live at 'WithoutBorders' in Bulgaria by the Black Sea in September 2011. Enjoy!
