First Aid Kit A Big Hit At Two Consecutive Polar Prize Ceremonies

I'm making a special trip to The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor on September 25th to see these Swedish sisters, who are huge in Europe, but are nearly unknown in the United States. The Polar Prize is an international Swedish award given each year to one contemporary musician and one classical musician. It's often referred to as The Nobel Prize for music. This year the prize was awarded to Paul Simon and last year, Patty Smith; who become emotional when hearing their own music and lyrics sung by First Aid Kit.
