Erik Sjøholm
Singer-songwriter · Luzern
Erik Sjøholm is a singer-songwriter and storyteller from Ostrobothnia — the Swedish-speaking coast of Finland — now based in Luzern, Switzerland. He writes songs that don't rush — music built from real moments, lived quietly and felt deeply.
Shaped by John Lennon, Jeff Buckley, Joni Mitchell, and Damien Rice, his sound carries the weight of a story you've heard before but can't quite place. Songs about love, loss, distance, and homecoming — and the thin line between all of them. He writes in English and Swedish, sometimes both in the same breath.
He has performed across Europe — from the Arbogast Festival in Sweden to Mezrab and the Amsterdam Storytelling Festival in the Netherlands, to storytelling gatherings in Croatia and Finland. His concert format GLENN weaves original songs with spoken narrative: every song earns its place in the room before it's played.
“I think you deserve to be respected and loved for who you are.”
