"Sara Lovisa Margareta Parkman was born in 1989 in Härnosand, a small city in the northern parts of Sweden, residing at the 62nd parallel north - a circle of latitude 62 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane that passes through Alaska and Siberia amongst other cold and desolate territories. Unforgiving climate with distances going on forever, but still, a magical place in the north, where your creative cry must travel thousands of miles to get heard. 

Sara Parkman is a folk musician doing it the riot grrrl way. Sara combines the arts and crafts from the Swedish folkloric world of music with gigs at queer clubs and festivals, playing with artists like Seinabo Sey and Silvana Imam.

“E4 N"" is literally a call out inspired by the old Scandinavian way of calling home the cattle from the woods. Sara Parkman builds a magnificent world of her own, pulls out beauty from something rough or untamed, out of violin, synthesizers and berimbau - a brazilian string instrument.

Her music has inspired the making of a a video trilogy, directed by Swedish artist Edith Hammar. The first single and video is “E4 N”. It is about going home, far up north in Sweden, driving your old Volvo, eating crisps and listening to great songs, on winding roads in the deepest of woods.
