The Original Five

The Original Five play Brighton at The Brunswick on Sunday 6th September - this is bluegrass, country and folk music from the south of Sweden.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.

Theirs is 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, Sweden, but since then the music has taken them to festivals and gigs all over Europe and of course the homeland of bluegrass, the USA.They have five own studio albums and have enjoyed many collaborations with other musicians over the years, e.g. a live album in collaboration with a Swiss chamber orchestra.
