WITTMAR is a Swedish folk-rock band whose five members come together from all over the country.

The band was formed in 2020 during a few sparkling cold nights in a small log cabin at the top of a mountain in the north of Sweden. 

Since then, they have shared the stage with major international and national artists such as Vieux Farka Touré and Moonica Mac, and have enthralled their audience in packed concert halls as well as in rowdy rock clubs and festivals.

While drawing influences from folk/world, americana blues and 70s prog rock, they create a velvety dark, forest-scented music world that is still firmly rooted in the Nordic soil. With their peculiarly tender/raw storytelling and their strong stage presence, they set a mood that appeals to eager-to-dance afro-lovers as well as to seasoned rock hearts.

In 2022, the band debuted with three acclaimed singles that were noticed by HYMN and Popmuzik, among others.

In 2024, alongside touring in Europe and Sweden, the group released their long-awaited debut album "Strange Bird", on the Danish label Stillestøj. The album was recorded in Studio Folkhemmet in Unnaryd together with renowned producer Petter Eriksson, who is also behind recording and mixing.
