Icelandic siblings Örn, Ösp and Björk Eldjárn come together to perfect the ‘Blood Harmony’ concept, which happens when close family members sing together. Be prepared for captivating vocal harmonies and folk music rooted in the Icelandic tradition.

Hailing from North Iceland, Blood Harmony started as a collaboration project of brother and sister Örn Eldjárn and Ösp Eldjárn. Having been brought up in a musical family, it was no wonder that both of their paths led into a musical career. Now, after more than a decade in various musical projects and bands, they have joined forces again, like they did when they were teenagers, and returned to their folky roots.

The project officially started in the spring of 2020 when, due to covid19, the trio had all moved back to Svarfaðardalur valley in North Iceland, where they are from. They transformed the basement at their parent’s farm into a recording studio and started recording songs they had written a while ago, but for some reason not found the right platform for. Until now. So far they have released four singles, Summer Leaves, Wicked Heart and Draumsnillingar (dream masters) and Girl From Before, and are currently working on a LP album.

Heading down from Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival to the Cambridge Folk Festival, this award-winning trio from Iceland are making a stop in London’s Kings Place.

The event will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.

Blood Harmony – Summer Leaves

‘There’s a gorgeous Joni Mitchell energy to this track that won me over from the beginning. The vocal harmonies on the chorus are reminiscent of an ancient tradition that reemerged in the 1960s. This is the kind of deep, meaningful music that makes me feel rooted in my humanity. There’s a sophistication to the lead vocal here that is absolutely engaging. If you’re a fan of traditional folk music and vocal harmonies, listen to this one.’ – Ear to the Ground
