Jaerv is a Swedish quintet, playing an extroverted, vigorous andheartfelt folk music with influences from both jazz and pop music. Together, the five members have created a homogeneous,vivid sound which has, over a short period of time, 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.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Crescendo är en fin musiklokal där många bra musiker brukar uppträda. Hörsalen, Kulturkammaren och Kulturhuset finns också. Det skulle uppskattas om ni kom!
Hej på er! Fan va bra ni är! Såg er på releasen på Artisten och blev så imponerad. Kom och spela i Norrköping också! Ha det gott och fortsätt spela fint.
Så nærmer vi os udgivelse af min debutplade, og i den forbindelse er der masser af koncerter med mig i det ganske land.
Torsdag d. 2. april er der pladereception på Blågårds Apotek på Nørrebro i København, og du er mere end velkommen.
Pladen udkommer d. 3. april, og kan købes i alle pladebutikker landet over (de kan ihvertfald bestille den hjem til dig). Alternativt på songcrafter. dk/webshop.
Eller ved en af mine koncerter.
For første gang gæster jeg Odense med mine sange - det sker d. 1. april på Dexter.
Ligeledes kommer jeg til Århus for første gang, da jeg er blevet udvalgt til SPOT 2009 - eksakt dato og tidspunkt følger.
Jeg håber, at se dig til en af de mange datoer, og at du vil glæde dig til at få fingrene i min plade "Debut".
