JAERV
The award-winning Swedish quintet Jaerv presents extroverted, vigorous, and heartfelt folk music with influences from both jazz and pop music. Together, the five members have created a homogeneous, vivid sound that has established Jaerv on the folk music scene. Rooted in several different musical traditions, Jaerv offers a varied stage performance where five-voiced tunes blend in with energetic dances and free improvisations. This internationally renowned group has previously performed in Swedesburg in 2019. www.jaerv.com/press
"They are singing, playing, storytelling and are so terribly good. The audience is knocked out by their performance!" Susanne Rydén - Royal Academy of Music
