Magnus Wiik - guitar, banjo, dobro, mandolin, fiddle, cello, double bass, vocals

Rad is the sister album of Trad, and focuses on original music. Three instrumentals and six songs, written between 2012-18, the album was self-produced and saw Wiik’s first debut as a solo artist. The music is rooted in a modern take on the bluegrass-band in various settings.
