Sophie Hanson (SE)

After selling out her first headline show in Sweden (Lokomotivet, 2024), Sophie Hanson opened for U.S. country star Dasha in Stockholm and hit the road with Chris Kläfford on The Long Way Tour 2025. Her latest single “Country Kinda Vibe” is a bold tribute to her roots – a reminder that country isn’t one-size-fits-all. The track earned Sophie three nominations at the 2025 Josie Music Awards in Nashville: Vocalist of the Year (Country Rock / Southern Rock), Rising Star (Modern Country / Pop Country), and Song of the Year (Modern Country / Pop Country). The awards take place at the legendary Grand Ole Opry. Sophie is a rising Swedish country-pop artist with a raw, soulful sound shaped by legends like Johnny Cash and Aretha Franklin. She first broke into the U.S. scene with her award-winning single “Brother,” which took home Original Song of the Year at Texas Sounds CMA and led to her first Josie Award nomination.
