About this event

Bluegrass... and more

The Original Five mixes traditional Bluegrass with their own material, more well-known, crowd-pleasing country songs and musical excursions into both folk music and gospel. A wide spectrum of musical experiences that are held together by the band’s solid bluegrass background.

The band started in 2010 as a Jam session at Far I Hatten in Folkets Park in Malmö, but since then the music has taken them around to festivals and gigs all over Europe and of course the homeland of bluegrass, the USA.

Five own studio albums and many collaborations with other musicians over the years, e.g. a live album in collaboration with a Swiss chamber orchestra.

For the past decade, The Original Five, perhaps one of the world’s smallest quintests, has consisted of:

Dan Englund – Double bass, Vocals
Jonas Svahn – Acoustic guitar, Vocals
Johan Malmberg – Banjo, Vocals
Daniel Olsson – Dobro, Vocals
