Joel Andersson

 

 

Swedish native Joel Andersson was given his first harmonica at the age of 2 and began playing professionally when he was 13. He soon grew increasingly interested in the technical aspects of harmonica construction and was certified as a member of the elite group of Hohner Affiliated Customizers (HAC) in 2017. Today he builds some of the finest custom harmonicas in the world.

Joel is also regarded as one of the world’s finest harmonica players in the field of Irish music. He has won prestigious titles in many music competitions, including 3rd place at the All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil 2014 and an astonishing 2nd place at the World Harmonica Festival 2017. He has toured and given harmonica workshops in many countries from the cold and dark north of Finland, Germany, Scandinavia to Greece, the Canary Islands, England and Ireland.

In 2018 he released his debut Solo album “The Irish Harmonica”, which won critical acclaim and has been featured by radio stations from Los Angeles, USA to Galway in Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands.

People travel from all over the world to learn how to play Irish music on harmonica from Joel, coming all the way from Chile, USA, Australia or South Korea to Sweden to study his style of playing.

As a Hohner Affiliated Customizer, Joel has won the attention of the world’s premier harmonica players, inventors, and innovators. By their testimony, his custom harmonicas and original Sjoeberg Combs are of the very finest quality and increase the player’s command over the instrument, regardless of playing style or experience. His precision in custom reed and slot work is also evident in his fine Sjoeberg Combs and Artisanal Cases, which are hand and machine manufactured in his workshop in Höör, Sweden.
