The multi award winning Lena Jonsson Trio continues to break new grounds around the world with their unique mix of deeply rooted Swedish folk, jazz, American old-time and electro acoustic sounds.

Lena Jonsson’s ability to balance this with innovative artistic sensibilities, sparkling joy of life and a charisma of a rock-star have made her one Scandinavia’s most visionary musicians.

Lena Jonsson’s ability to balance a deep knowledge of traditional Swedish folk music with innovative artistic sensibilities, the sparkling joy of life, and the charisma of a rock star have made her one of Sweden’s most visionary musicians. She has created a unique style inspired by traditional Swedish music as well as rock, pop, and American old-time and bluegrass traditions.

Together with guitarist Ian Carr and bassist Krydda Sundström they create a virtuosic yet playful trio. In April 2023, the trio won Artist of the year at the Swedish Folk awards. Their album ”Stories from the Outside” won both a Swedish Grammis and the Manifest prize in 2021 and Album of the year by LIRA Music Magazine and song of the year by Swedish radio. They released their third album ”Elements” in June 2023.

"Lena Jonsson, national fiddler, is increasingly becoming a Swedish composer of folk music. Nowadays, it's both about what and how she plays. She still plays from folk music, deeply from within the tradition, but increasingly she also plays through and out of herself.’’ ”.....Summary: each melody/piece/ track/song is a handmade work of art.” - HIFI & MUSIK, SWEDEN. #7 2023.
