About

A Swedish indie folk duo with a devoted international following, First Aid Kit blend the bright vocal harmonies and pastoral, contemplative songwriting of sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg. After receiving radio play in Sweden as teenagers, they went on to chart across Europe, and in the U.S. and Australia with albums such as The Lion's Roar (2012), Stay Gold (2014), and the breakup-inspired Ruins (2018). Modeled on the '80s production of acts like Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty, their more uplifting fifth studio LP, Palomino, was released in 2022.

Starting, as many sibling acts have done, simply singing together as kids, Swedish sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg came to realize their voices worked together in a way that was more than just a fun pastime. Others heard it, too, and by the time they were in their mid-teens they were working under the band name First Aid Kit and getting their music on Swedish radio. Soon they had a recording contract and were embarking on their first tour. It wasn’t long before they were working with their heroes Bright Eyes and playing high-profile events like the Polar Music Prize banquet, where their music brought Emmylou Harris to tears. This month, the Söderberg singers have released their fifth album, Palomino, and announced an international tour, one that will bring them to Denver in May of 2023.
