Have you seen that we are now on Spotify? There you can listen to our first two albums as well as some samples from the third.
But do not forget that for a small genre as folk music it is important that people are willing to pay for the music.
Otherwise, considering how few recording releases there are nowadays and with the small economic margins, we run the risk of not having any folk music publishing at all otherwise.
Enjoy the listening!
Now it’s autumn again, and soon it’s a year since we released our third album “AER”. It’s been a great year with many fun gigs and experiences.
This autumn we are looking forward to play at
Oktoberstämman in Uppsala, one of autumn’s major folk events. We will also make a small tour in Västerbotten.
Hope to see you!
