Lena Jonsson

Renowned for her work in the Swedish folk scene, Lena Jonsson has spent over 15 years performing in the US, UK, Europe, Australia and Asia. At the age of 21 she was nominated ”Newcomer of the year” at the Folk and world music awards in Sweden and since then her career has continued to grow. Her ability to balance a deep knowledge of traditional Swedish folk music with innovative artistic sensibilities has made her one of the most distinct artists and in-demand musical collaborators in the folk scene. On her new album PLACES, she invites the listener "on tour" with each composition representing a distinct destination. She now tours with her trio (guitarist Erik Ronström and bassist Kristofer "Krydda" Sundström) from the album PLACES.
