Wir freuen uns sehr mit West of Eden am Mittwoch, den 09.03 eine der bekanntesten Schwedischen Folk-Bands (-mit 6 Profi-Musikern auf unser kleinen Bühne!-) wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen. WoE hat Fans auf der ganzen Welt- Ende 2017 waren sie sogar zu mehreren Konzerten nach China eingeladen.

West of Eden is a Swedish band that for over a decade has thrilled audiences with their unique sound. The highest of songwriting standards combined with the extraordinary voice of singer Jenny Schaub and a deep love for the traditional Celtic folk music has earned them a solid reputation amongst critics around the globe.

With eight highly praised albums under their belt, the band has now got used to being called “Simply phenomenal” (Rock ‘n’ Reel). “Masters of their genre” (UNT) and “the best of contemporary folk” (Irish Music Magazine)!

Over the years West of Eden has toured Ireland, Benelux and Scandinavia, played at the Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow, Scotland, performed a multi-media concert together with members of the Swedish National Orchestra and for several years hosted their annual Celtic Christmas-concerts where they have collaborated with musicians from The Chieftains, Wolfstone, Alan Kelly Gang, Anúna and more.

In 2014 West of Eden released their eight album “Songs from Twisting River”; a more acoustic and intimate set of songs compared to their earlier albums. The album features such prominent guests as Kate Rusby, Ron Block (Union Station) and Michael McGoldrick (Mark Knopfler’s band) and was produced by Damien O’Kane in Pure Studies, Yorkshire.

Going to a West of Eden concert, you are sure to be amazed at how the band with ease throw them selves between intimate acoustic storytelling, traditional tunes and catchy uplifting folkrock. A truly fantastic live band!

Swedish by birth they may be, but in heart and soul they are definitely Celtic!
