West of Eden (band)

The band was formed in 1995 by spouses Jenny and Martin Schaub after they returned from a trip to Dublin, where they fell in love with Celtic folk music.

Notable names are (alphabetically) Ron Block, Duncan Chisholm, Steph Geremia, Jarlath Henderson, Filip Jers, Christian Kjellvander, John McCusker, Michael McGoldrick, Damien O'Kane, Kate Rusby, Heidi Talbot, but also former or future band members David Ekh, Øyvind Eriksen and Pär Öjerot appeared as a guest.

In 2018, the band covered Timo Räisänens Eld & Aceton, translated into English by Jenny Schaub as Hope, Faith, Theft and performed the song with him in 2019.

Sometimes other artists join the band, like Duncan Chisholm, Triona Marshall (touring member of The Chieftains) or Heidi Talbot.

Martin and Jenny Schaub created a musical, called Silverhjärtats hemlighet ('The Secret of the Silver Heart'), that depicts the city's history and is set in three eras: the 16th century, 1916 and the present day.
