Most people know me as a solo player and that will always be my main thing BUT I also work with my band THE SOUL BASTARDS. A bunch of sensational players. Nicklas Brännström-bass, Niels Nielsen-guitars/keyboards/noise, Krister Persson-drums and Gustav Pettersson-drums that I team up with for concerts with nothing but original songs.
On occasions I also enjoy to work with different "pick-up" bands in a more tradtional blues style.
Influences
Son House, Lightnin’ Slim, Charles Bukowski, Top Jimmy & The Rhythm Pigs, Lester Butler & The Red Devils, Charlie Patton, Robert Johnson, Big Joe Turner, Nightmares, T-Model Ford, Martin Amis, Johan Adegran, Howlin’ Wolf, Albert Camus, Grinderman, Motorhead, Cedell Davis, Wynonie Harris, Niels from Hell, John Hammond, David Lynch, R.L Burnside, Bob Log III, Tom Waits, Carlos Guitarlos, Hollywood Fats, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, QOTSA, Chris Whitley, Ingmar Bergman, Dead Kennedys, John Fante, red wine and beer....
I grew up listening to Jerry Lee, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino and that might have put the mean R&B in my blood when I was just a small kid.
In the late 70..s and early 80..s I discovered Ramones, The Clash, Dead Kennedys and whole Swedish punk scene. I guess I always been something of a misfit so I just fell in love with the whole thing and started my first band as a 12 year old.
During the late 80..s I lost it for a while but somewhere around 90/91 I discovered delta blues and Son House, Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson.
That was it. Since 1994 I've been driving alone around this mean, cold country (Sweden) playing my blues at clubs, festivals and wherever people want me to play. My blues just getting rougher and I guess I'm nothing but an old punk trying to play them real deep blues.
