Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra - Blue Strawberry - FEW TICKETS

Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra is a seven-piece acoustic band from Oslo, Norway, that has captured hearts of the US with its unique blend of bluegrass and Nordic folk – a style often dubbed “Nordicana.” Featuring fiddle, dobro, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and even an accordion alongside four-part vocal harmonies, the group delivers a fresh take on American roots music wrapped in a finely tuned folk sound. Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra combines original songs, classic tunes, and timeless covers into an energetic and soulful repertoire.

Background & Style
Born in 2013 out of a spark from the Oscar-nominated film The Broken Circle Breakdown, Hayde has grown into a force on the international roots scene. Their shows are electric – pulsing with bluegrass drive, Nordic melancholy, and soaring four-part harmonies that stop audiences in their tracks. With a setlist that leaps from soulful originals to haunting traditionals and transformative takes on classics like “Wayfaring Stranger” and “All My Tears,” every concert becomes a journey through the heart of roots music. Having already toured Norway, the Netherlands, the UK, and the US, Hayde has built a reputation for performances that leave bluegrass devotees and first-time listeners equally spellbound.
