On saturday, Helen Sjöholm, Jacke Sjödin and Holmsten Trio perform at the party venue in Näsåker. For Helen Sjöholm, it’s like coming home.
– It feels amazing. It was on Storgatan in Näsåker I made my first gig, she says.
NÄSÅKER Helen’s mother was born and raised in Näsåker and during her childhood, Helen, who grew up in Sundsvall, was often at her grandmother’s home.
– I was there a lot when I was a child. But my grandmother passed away 18 years ago, so now it’s not that often. It’s probably five to six years since I was in Näsåker lately, she says.
(…) In addition, Helen and the artists can sleep in her grandmother’s old house.
– It feels magical to sleep in the house you spent so much time in as a child, she says. In Näsåker Helen will be accompanied by Holmsten’s enhanced trio. In addition to Jacke Sjödin, Klas Norberg and Helen’s cousin Maria Lundberg from Sollefteå also participate.
– It will be super cool. Me and Maria often sang for grandmother and when the aunts came on coffee, it happened all the time, we should sing. That’s where the career started.
(…) – I’ve seen many great artists on that stage. I remember when Fallen’s day was great and I saw Carola and Lasse Berghagen and many others.
– But it’s not just for sentimental reasons I like that stage. It’s a great venue that’s unique. (…)
