Fränder

With heavy grooves, alluring vocals, and imaginative arrangements, Fränder draws the listener into their unique musical landscape. Rooted in Swedish and Estonian folk music but with an open mind toward various genres, they create playful and boundary-breaking music that stands entirely on its own. With warmth and charm, they deliver a powerful concert experience filled with captivating melodies and evocative riffs. Fränder is a force of nature on stage!

As one of the most groundbreaking bands on today’s Nordic music scene, Fränder continuously pushes stylistic boundaries. With their personal touch on Nordic folk music, they create a hauntingly atmospheric musical experience. Listeners can pick up subtle echoes of Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, and even The Beatles, seamlessly interwoven with Swedish and Estonian folk traditions. Although their compositions are original, Fränder often interprets folk music with a rock edge, sometimes referred to as "heavy folk" – all while using acoustic instruments. Their music truly rocks!

“No matter your preferred genre, Fränder is the kind of music that feeds the senses and helps to complete the soul.” – Spill Magazine
