The award winning fiddle player Anna Ekborg Hans-Ers is one of the younger generation’s most prominent folk musicians. Over the last years she has become one of the most known fiddle players on the Swedish Folk Music scene, both as a solo artist and as a member of ensembles such as Swedish Grammy nominees Northern Resonance.

Inspired by generations of folk musicians, Anna explores traditional music with great integrity and curiosity. With deep roots and a focus on the genre, she and her fiddle stretch musical borders and also allow new influences in, leaving her own mark on the tunes.

In 2021, Anna released the critically acclaimed debut album SOLO which was nominated for a Swedish grammy, named solo album of the year by Lira Music Magazine and won prize for folk music of the year at the independent music awards “Manifestgalan” and Dalecarlia Music Awards. In 2023 she received the award as “Newcomer of the Year” at the Swedish Folk & World Music Awards.

“With complete respect for the heritage she breathes new life into these songs, making them her own. [...] Solo is a debut release to be proud of as the Swedish traditions move into the hands of a new generation.” - Songlines Magazine
