"When Nos Honks lets their instruments meet they
create a whirling storm as well as a gentle summers breeze."
Jonas Knutsson (saxophones), Anna Roussel (wooden flute) och Markus Tullberg (wooden flute) are the musicians behind the name Nos Honks. They have made a deep journey into each other’s musical backgrounds and created a world of sounds that connects to traditional music from Sweden, Brittany, Ireland nut also reaches beyond genres and borders. A central theme for Nos Honks is the balance between the thoughtful arrangements and the space for improvisation. The music never sounds the same and key is a close communication and a living repertory.
