Sounds LikeWest of Eden is a Swedish band that for a decade has thrilled audiences with their unique Celtic folkrock.

The highest of songwriting standards combined with the extraordinary voice of singer Jenny Schaub has earned them a solid reputation amongst critics around the globe.
Irish Music Magazine wrote about their latest release: “West of Eden brings us the best of contemporary folk in a Celtic idiom” while Folk & Roots described it as ”Innovative, imaginative, lyrical, melodic, and inspirational”

West of Eden has toured Ireland, Benelux and Scandinavia. The band has played at the Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow, Scotland, and will next year perform a multimedia concert with songs from their fantastic new album “The West of Eden Travelogue” together with members of the Swedish National Orchestra at the Concert Hall in Gothenburg.

Other collaborations throughout the years have featured Scandinavian Strings, Irish singer/songwriter Marian Bradfield and John McGlynn & Róisín Dempsey from Anúna who has performed with West of Eden at their sold out “Celtic Christmas” concerts 2007 & 2008.

A concert with West of Eden is a journey between intimate acoustic storytelling and catchy folkrock, always performed with love and respect for the Celtic tradition.

Here are but a few praises from the international press:

"Simply phenomenal....a priceless gem"
(Rock'n Reel; UK),

"Innovative, imaginative, lyrical, melodic, and inspirational"
(Folk & Roots)

"Celtic pop at it’s very best"
(Greenman review)

"West of Eden brings us the best of contemporary folk in a Celtic idiom."
(www.rambles.net)

"It is impossible to pick a favourite track from this album (Four); every one has great merit and will entrance the listener."
(Irish Music Magazine)

"What would happen if you crossed the voice of Judy Collins with that of Alison Krauss? Well, apart from receiving the inevitable reproach of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”, you’d end up with a thing of joy. A voice that is the hybrid of the two: a voice that is Jenny Schaub, singer of West of Eden."
(Folkworld, Germany)

"A source of eternal melodies"
(World music magazine, Spain)

"This new one from West of Eden is a must listen!"
(Musical Discoveries, USA)

"Among the most beautiful music I have ever heard"
(SLA, Sweden)

Hej! Ser att ni spelat in i Glommen och spelar där 9-10/10, vad kul! Jag bor någon mil ifrån och har en del fina bilder från Morups Tånge på min sida - älskar miljön där! Är spelningarna i samlingslokalen allmänna, tro?

TACK för 'adden'!

Som stor vän av keltisk folkmusik
är jag överraskad och jättestolt
över att West of Eden är en SVENSK grupp!
