Feedback from Jaerv's concert at House of Sweden
We are happy to share these very nice words that we received from a fan after our concert in Washington DC. Thanks Jeffrey!
“Meet Jaerv! An innovative Swedish folk quintet with jazz and pop leanings who flawlessly blend original songs with stellar takes on captivating Scandinavian folk songs, some dating back 700 years. The combined talent, humor and professionalism these impressive men exude is unparalleled. Musicians. Vocalists. Songwriters. See them. Feel them. Experience them. Be moved by them and move with them. Jaerv!”

Hello, World!
JAERV receives grant from Kulturrådet for Japan-tour!
We are very honored to once again receive a grant from Kulturrådet to support our international touring. This time for our Japan-tour in October 2017.
Thank you, Kulturrådet!
Great review in Le Canard Folk, Belgium!
The talented Swedish group, always attached to its Swedish and Finnish roots, also brilliantly composed, to the point that some of these compositions are hardly distinguishable from traditional tunes. It must be said that Jaerv creates arrangements that are both modern and harmonious, with very beautiful passages with several singing voices, an Irish flute and pretty percussions. We go from the simplest ballad to the folk-pop worthy of the great scenes, passing by some jazz improvisations, reveries, polskas, waltzes ... This very well-cared universe is undeniably endearing!

Review in Piteå-Tidningen 20/2 (swe)
Norrland Tour - Sollefteå tonight!
Yesterday we met the wonderful students at Framnäs folkhögskola for a 3-hour workshop. It was really great and they later joined us on our last song on our evening concert in Piteå. A big thank you also to Pitebygdens Musikförbund who produced the concert.
Tonight we are performing in Sollefteå kyrka with the church choir at 7pm.
The audience goes crazy when Jaerv starts playing...
...well almost...:)
