Lena Jonsson trioSE

Lena Jonsson's ability to balance a deep knowledge of traditional Swedish folk music with innovative artistic sensibilities, sparkling joie de vivre, and the charisma of a rock star has made her one of Scandinavia'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 Erik Ronström and bassist Krydda Sundström, they create a virtuosic yet playful trio. Their album Stories from the Outside won both the Swedish Grammi and the Manifest prize in 2021, Album of the Year by LIRA Music Magazine and Song of the Year by Swedish radio, whilst their third album Elements won Album of the Year in 2025. Their award-winning collaboration continues to impress: the trio released their new album Folk Covers, where they celebrate and interpret contemporary folk music composers from Quebec, the United States, Scotland, and the Nordic countries.
