Freja Bluegrass Band

About Me

Bandet startade våren 2005 när då 15-åriga Freja blev gammal nog att starta ett eget band. Sång och banjospel från Freja. Hon backas upp av fler exceptionellt duktiga ungdomar, 19-årige Mikael Klaening på bas och 20-årige Philip Runsteen på Viola. Sedan är det 2 gamlingar som håller reda på ungdomarna. Thorsten Jakobsson på gitarr samt Björn Eriksson på Mandolin Dobro och ibland bas.
The band started in spring of 2005 when 15 year old Freja became old enough to start her own band. Leadsinging and banjo-playing from Freja. She is backed up by more exceptionally talented young musicians. 19 year old Mikael Klaening is playing bass and 20 year old Philip Runsteen is playing the fiddle. Also two older musicians - Thorsten Jakobsson guitar and Björn Eriksson on mandolin, dobro and sometimes bass.
