The multi-award-winning Lena Jonsson Trio continues to break new ground internationally with its unique mix of deeply rooted Swedish folk, jazz, American old-time and electro-acoustic sounds. Many of our Celtic fans may recognize her from her performances in the 2023 Rockport Celtic Festival last September!

Hear incredible musical talent with the Upstairs on Main music series! Enjoy the intimate, lounge-like atmosphere on the third floor of the hall. Grab a beer at the bar, sit with friends and enjoy the show! Dancing is encouraged!  

"[W]elcome to a world of fine fiddling from both sides of the Atlantic.”
— FolkWorld

Lena Jonsson’s ability to balance innovative artistic sensibilities, the sparkling joy of life and the charisma of a rock star has made her one of Scandinavia’s most visionary musicians —and a hit performer at the 2023 Rockport Celtic Festival! She creates a virtuosic yet playful trio with guitarist Erik Ronström and bassist Krydda Sundström. The trio won Artist of the Year at the Swedish Folk Awards in both 2021 and 2022. Also in 2021, their latest album, “Stories from the Outside,” won a Swedish Grammis, the Manifest prize, Album of the Year by LIRA Music Magazine and Song of the Year by Swedish radio. Their most recent album, Elements, was released in June 2023.

“If you are already a fan of Lena Jonsson, you will be expecting an exciting mix of contemporary and traditional fiddle, American oldtime and Swedish dance music, folk rock and rockabilly funk: so this album won’t hold many surprises. If you are new to Jonsson’s music, welcome to a world of fine fiddling from both sides of the Atlantic.” — FolkWorld
