Benny Andersson Band with Helen Sjöholm and Tommy Körberg
SUMMER CONCERT WITH DANCE ON VAKSALA SQUARE IN UPPSALA!


BAO with Helen Sjöholm and Tommy Körberg will invite you to dance only once this summer (2012). They will set up their own dance floor for an evening on Vaksala Square in Uppsala on August 25 at 19:00, local time. This concert is held in conjunction with the Eric Sahlström 100 year anniversary to celebrate and commemorate the national folk musician Eric Sahlström, who would have turned 100 in 2012. Eric Sahlström was a highly respected musician, composer and instrument builder and he is the person who meant the most to nyckelharpa development, dissemination and success, both in Sweden and internationally. During the jubilee days (August 24-25, 2012) venues will be created for musicians, dancers and a wide audience. More info about the program at www.ericsahlström.se

Their new CD O Klang och Jubeltid, which was released in early summer, is now approaching platinum and the single En dag i sänder remains in a high position on the Swedish charts.
