Hälsingefyr (S) - A Tribute to Cornelis Vreeswijk at 90
Swedish folk/rock/bluegrass band Hälsingefyr celebrates Cornelis Vreeswijk's 90th birthday with a tribute concert featuring his most beloved songs.
Hälsingefyr is a Swedish folk/rock/bluegrass band from Hälsingland whose sound draws on the region's folk traditions as well as Irish folk rock. The lineup - guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle and double bass - handles both original songs and covers, and the band is particularly known for its tributes to Swedish singer-songwriter Cornelis Vreeswijk, with songs like Veronica and Felicia adjö as live staples. With more than 15 years of touring across Sweden, from Skåne to Lapland, they have built a loyal following on the Nordic folk circuit.
Hälsingefyr performed at the venue Encore in Stockholm on May 23, 2025.
The band performed at Bjuråkersstämman, the traditional folk music festival in Hälsingland.
