Welcome!
Welcome to Jaerv´s official website. Please have a look around and do not forget to check out our tour schedule and listen to samples from our CD "Inrikes".
Jaerv is a Swedish quintet, playing an extroverted, vigorous and
heartfelt folk music with influences from both jazz and pop music.
Together, the five members have created a homogeneous, vivid sound
which has established Jaerv on the folk music scene as well as in many
other forums. Rooted in several different musical traditions, Jaerv offers a varied stage performance where vocal, five-voiced tunes blend in with energetic dances and free improvisations. Jaerv has done several tours in the U.S., played live at BBC Scotland and performed twice at the biggest folk festival in northern Europe, Celtic Connections in Glasgow. In February 2009 they released their first studio album, “Inrikes”.
See where Jaerv have played before, and where they are going to play.
"The Swedish folk group Jaerv takes the elements of traditional Scandinavian music and reflects them through a modern prism, with an all-acoustic sound that nonetheless takes a bevy of tricky turns in rhythm and harmony that makes the pleasant rural melodies ring with a contemporary complexity." - Rick Massimo, Journal Pop Music Writer April 10 2010
