Simon Swahnström is hailing from the plains around the eastern side of Lake Vänern, Sweden. He captivates audiences with his immediate yet gripping lyrics, seamlessly blending intimate everyday realism with epic historical narratives. Rooted in the Swedish folk tradition, with a touch of American folk music and a healthy dose of grit, he has been touring the Nordic countries with his band Lürsta Sockens Husarer in recent years. Sometimes finely tuned - sometimes ferociously raw, but always as equally present.
