Performer hospitality provided by our host venue, The Yorktowne Hotel.

Djärv is a young Swedish quintet, playing an extroverted, vigorous and heartfelt folk music with influences from both jazz and pop music. Together, the five members have created a homogeneous, vivid sound which has, over a short period of time, established Djärv on the folk music scene as well as in many other forums. Rooted in several different musical traditions, Djärv offers a varied stage performance where vocal, five-voiced tunes blend in with energetic dances and free improvisations. Their concerts have been broadcast several times, both on Swedish national radio and abroad, and the band has toured extensively over the last three years.
