This EP is a compilation of live recordings from their US/Sweden tours from 2021 - 2023, captured in fields of the Midwest and forests of Sweden. It reflects the bands’ respect for musical tradition paired with the desire to expand its boundaries. It is their sincere hope that every listener experiences the tangible joy that pulses through each band member, and follows their own traditions not just back in time, but into the future.

“Jaerv + The OK Factor: Traditions (Own Release)

The Swedish folk quintet Jaerv shared the stage with the American cello and violin duo The OK Factor and likes arose - so much so that they decided to record an album together. It turned out to be this six-track EP of excellent chamber music with a flavor of the Nordics as well as North America and Ireland. Four instrumentals and two with vocals in a meeting that definitely adds flavor!” Lira Magazine Jan 2024

“The elegant quintet Jaerv began a collaboration with the American string duo The Ok Factor a couple of years ago. This EP was recorded during the two most recent tours they did together, in the USA and in Sweden. Swedish and American, seamlessly mixed, beautifully performed and in nice arrangements as well.” - Spelmannen Folk Music Magazine December 2023
