Pump House Welcomes: Kolonien

Playing across the US for the very first time en route for their world tour, Kolonien will be joining us at the Pump House on November 11th to share their blend of contemporary folk and Swedish roots!

Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 day of. Come early and get comfortable with a drink from the bar and a plate of food from our complimentary spread!

Kolonien is a four piece family band. A big year champion birdwatcher, his brother a house-
building father of two sons, their neighbor a percussion explorer of four continents, and their cousin Anna Möller, the star fiddler of the band whos also the daughter of Swedens living folk music legend Ale Möller. They grew up with the traditional music scene, deeply embedded in the family. As Kolonien, they reinvent their roots with their rich Swedish harmonies, both instrumentally and vocally.

Their journey started in their teens, when they left their countryside home to travel around Sweden as protest singers in the Swedish Green movement. When they got invited to perform at a Zanzibar festival in Tanzania in 2010, things really started taking shape. It was meant as a onetime gig, but the songs and the conversations of change fell in place unexpectedly well and they decided to start a band and write their own songs.

Kolonien have released two albums. Twice prized and awarded at the Swedish Folk and World Music Awards. Also twice nominated for one of their offspring projects Världens Band for which theyve gathered thirteen musicians from six countries.
