Eriksson/Myhr/Malmström is a Swedish/Norwegian trio playing newly composed, nordic folk music on guitar, hardanger fiddle and clarinet / bass clarinet. With elements of improvisation and voicing based on counterpoint techniques, the trio has found an exciting musical expression. The guitar's melodic and contrapuntal role adds a new nuance, and the hardanger fiddle and clarinet go beyond their roles as melodic instruments with improvised soundscapes and accompaniment. Named “Instrumental band of the year” in 2022 by the music magazine Lira.

Nominated for "Folk music of the year" at Manifestgalan 2023 and nominated for ”Release of the year” at Folk- & Världsmusikgalan 2023.

“Eriksson/ Myhr/ Malmström's first but hardly last album, För sola skin' på tak, is chosen as the album of the year in this category, where guitarist Thomas Eriksson's exquisite compositions are formed in close, listening interaction with Helga Myhr on Hardanger fiddle and Anna Malmström on bass clarinet. A record that we returned to throughout the year. Continuously evocative music to both rest to and be revived by.” - Lira Musikmagasin
