About Thyra
Thyra & Magnolia Road is a Swedish Americana/Country husband and wife duo. Behind the name you’ll find Karin Thyr Eriksson and Göran Eriksson – seasoned artists, producers, and songwriters with deep experience in both Sweden and the U.S.
They are joined by a stellar band of longtime friends and some of Sweden’s top musicians – often featuring Nashville-based fiddler Mark Evitts.
Their sound is often described as "Swedicana," where Americana blends with Scandinavian melancholy, folk, soul, and country. Thyra brings storytelling to the forefront. With authenticity and intimacy, their songs explore love, life, and everyday moments – creating performances that are as much about connection and reflection as they are about music. Their sound is stripped-back, emotional, and always from the heart.
