Swedish Folk Guitar, with Oskar Reuter

About the episode

In episode 15, I’m speaking with Swedish folk guitarist Oskar Reuter. Oskar is a versatile musician who is currently in high demand on the Scandinavian folk scene. His work includes projects like Goodland Trio, Oskar & Jonathan and the newly formed Grit Quartet. Recently, he has also become a permanet member of the band Sver, one of the busiest folk bands in Scandinavia.

In August he released his first solo album, called «Current State», featuring a collection of mostly original tunes played on fingerstyle guitar. Highly recommended!

I had a great time chatting with Oskar about his approach to folk music, his guitar style, his journey from jazz into the folk world, his solo album, his experiences in learning the nyckelharpa, and a bunch of other things!
