The Award winning Folk Music band Bjäran mixes instruments like Saxophone, Percussion, Guitar and Violin. Playing with great precision they still bring a groove that gets your body moving. In their debut album they all ventured out into a cabin for two months. They went there looking to write music that could express their frustration. The sound they arrived at is nothing short of incredible and hits you at the core with it’s rawness.
Even though they play fully acoustic their music sure packs a punch.
