CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED PERFORMER JONATHAN RUNDMAN TOURS IN SUPPORT OF LOST SONGS OF THE SUOMI SYNOD BOOK AND RESEARCH PROJECT
Minneapolis-based folk/rock songwriter Jonathan Rundman has released his first book. “Lost Songs of the Suomi Synod” is a musical and theological memoir of Rundman’s Lutheran ancestors who emigrated from Finland in the early 1900s. The book collects Rundman’s arrangements and translations of 28 songs from this Nordic immigrant community who settled in Upper Michigan, Minnesota, and in Washington State communities such as the Seattle area and Naselle. Much of this music has not been sung or heard in North America for a century, and some pieces have never before appeared in the English language.
